Hi, I am the head curator of the big math exhibition Mathema - Is Mathematics the language of nature? in the German Museum of Technology in Berlin. While I was looking vor nice and interesting puzzles and mathematical questions for our Webside I found your question about the scuares. I would say that there are 12.
We will have a symposium with the title "Mathematics - The hidden structures of our world?" at the 26. an d the 27th of June. Ian Steward will be one of the speakers. Would you like to come too?
You are wellcome to visit our website: www.mathema-ausstellung.de
You can contact me at the museum under: dorsch@sdtb.de
Best wishes
Hadwig Dorsch

13 first time. 16 second time. I missed the 7x7 and 2 5x5 squares the first time I counted. I think there is a perceptual trick here making the biggest squares hard to see.

i counted 0 squares...i saw that a SpencerNobleman mentioned 7x7 and 5x5 so i got out a ruler to see which squares i could be missing (i first counted 15) then i wipped out a ruler and found that none of my "squares" were actually squares

I like the lesson in this puzzle. I also like the perspective the collection of answers provide. Contemplate all things by more than one measure. =)Neat.
