Squares on a Chess Board

Puzzle :
      How many squares are there on a Chess board. ?


64 as answer is wrong !!

Answer:
The Answer is ofcourse not 64. Since Chess boards of size 1x1 , 2x2 , 3x3 ..... 7x7 , 8x8 can be made.
For 1x1
8*8 = 64
For 2x2
7 horizontal and 7 vertical positions are available to place 2x2 chess board.
So we have 7*7= 49 , 2x2 Chess boards
For 3x3
6 horizontal and 6 vertical positions are available to place 2x2 chess board.
So we have 6*6= 36 , 3x3 Chess boards
and so on
1×1 8 x 8 = 64 squares
2×2 7 x 7 = 49 squares
3×3 6 x 6 = 36 squares
4×4 5 x 5 = 25 squares
5×5 4 x 4 = 16 squares
6×6 3 x 3 = 9 squares
7×7 2 x 2 = 4 squares
8×8 1×1 = 1 square
Therefore , total squares are 1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + 4^2 + 5^2 + 6^2 + 7^2 + 8^2 = 204 squares

  2. These be able to hold 50% more importance than a standard
    slatwall. Becoming a great designer requires one to think like
    one and have all the tools any particular one would use.

    Wood displays are being used by most retail merchandisers for business because wood is really a stable and reliable material to show
    products.

  3. If he generally seems to go out of his way to touch you, especially when you are
    alone, it can be almost certain that he likes you. To my mind there is nothing more standard
    or spontaneous than arranging fresh flowers in the vase.
    In short, it's crucial for organizations to make sure they deliver enough exciting
    details to pique the crowd's interest without crossing the
    road into the dreaded information overload territory.

  4. Is the viewers still consists of decision makers.
    There could be instances that you can use spotlighting to focus
    on your product. If the consumer had to get a display, it might either should be a one-size-fits-all model, or they will often have to purchase a number of different sized exhibits.
