How many squares in the plane have two or more vertices on dots in this 2x3 grid? All dots are an equal distance from their nearest neighbours. *diagonal squares count*
--------------------------------------
I can only get 18, but some of my class members can get at least 30.
Do you go to the SMS
(spirit of math)
Does anyone go to spirit of math and does not like it ?
Omg lol so many som people
U guys are working on Seventh Challenge right? I'm stuck on problem 8), 9), and 10)! the answer to 8) is 144 but I can't get it...
It's 31, I saw the answer, but still stuck on how to get it. I go to Spirit of Math.
hahahaha here I am a year later stuck on this question... you don't get marks without work :(
I also go to SOM and I searched for this answer, who is Mr. Lanyon? No idea who he is. I am just a lurker trying to do Challenge 7.
YES AHMED I DO
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! stop cheating kids
We don't want to use our brains! we can't figure it out, neither can our parents, so we search the answers up! Plain and simple!
yea Mr. Lanyon but how would you know who is who
How do you find out the number of squaresssss
I need help.
yea but how
Are you guys in grade 7 or 8
Hey peeps I also go to SMS the answer is less than 30 (I think) but definitely more than 24. (I asked Ms. D)
Its 31
Ok thanks
thanks
hmm general consensus is that the answer is 31 but how did u guys get it? need to show work lol
coming from som in the future im pretty late to this conversation but I got 33 because 22 which is all the 2 vertices touching squares, 8 for all the 3 verticie touching squares, and 2 for the 4 vertices touching squares. Idk if i got that wrong tho. well who knows.

How many dots are there?
a 2x3 grid (6 dots) has 15 pairs
each of the pairs can be an edge or a diagonal
some squares involve 4 dots
... some, only two
There are more than 15, I know that for sure.
Oh thank you guys so much
Really needed it
