    All 14 squares in a 3×3-square (4×4-vertex) grid. As well as counting spheres in a pyramid, these numbers can be used to solve several other counting problems. For example, a common mathematical puzzle involves counting the squares in a large n by n square grid. [11] This count can be derived as follows: The number of 1 × 1 squares in the ...

  4. Nonogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonogram

    In this format, each number indicates how many of the squares immediately surrounding it, and itself, will be filled. A square marked "9," for example, will have all eight surrounding squares and itself filled. If it is marked "0" those squares are all blank. Maze-a-Pix uses a maze in a standard grid. When the single correct route from ...

  6. Square packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_packing

    Square packing in a square is the problem of determining the maximum number of unit squares (squares of side length one) that can be packed inside a larger square of side length . If a {\displaystyle a} is an integer , the answer is a 2 , {\displaystyle a^{2},} but the precise – or even asymptotic – amount of unfilled space for an arbitrary ...

  7. Maidenhead Locator System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maidenhead_Locator_System

    Fields are divided into 100 squares each. The second pair of numbers, called a square and placed after the first pair of letters, uses a base number of 10, and is encoded using the digits "0" to "9". This is where the alternative name "grid squares" comes from. Each of these squares represents 1° of latitude by 2° of longitude.

    Animation of the missing square puzzle, showing the two arrangements of the pieces and the "missing" square Both "total triangles" are in a perfect 13×5 grid; and both the "component triangles", the blue in a 5×2 grid and the red in an 8×3 grid. The missing square puzzle is an optical illusion used in mathematics classes to help students ...

  9. Nine dots puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine_dots_puzzle

    To do so, one goes outside the confines of the square area defined by the nine dots themselves. The phrase thinking outside the box, used by management consultants in the 1970s and 1980s, is a restatement of the solution strategy. According to Daniel Kies, the puzzle seems hard because we commonly imagine a boundary around the edge of the dot ...
