Correct Answer: Let’s take a look at a 1×1 square. How many squares are there in a 1×1 square? Well, that’s easy– there’s just one. Let’s take a look at a 2×2 square. How many squares are there in a 2×2 square? We see that there are 4 smaller squares (1×1) and there is 1 larger square (2×2). There are a total of(4 + 1) or 5 squares. Now let’s take a look at a 3×3 square. How many squares are there in a 3×3 square? We see that there are 9 smaller squares (3×3) and there are 4 larger squares (2×2) and there is 1 very large square (3×3). There is a total of (9 + 4 + 1) or 14 squares. How many squares are there in a 4×4 square? We see that there are 16 smaller squares (4×4), and there are 9 (3×3) there are 4 larger squares (2×2) and there is 1 very large square (3×3). There is a total of (16 + 9+4+1) or 30 squares. So on. The pattern is the sum of the perfect squares from 1 to the number that we’re working on. For 8x checkerboard, the total number of square is 204. 1² + 2² + 3²+ 4² + 5² + 6² + 7² + 8² = 1 + 4 + 9 + 16 + 25 + 36 + 49 + 64 = 204
Correct Answer: The word BRIGHT has 6 letters. The multiple of 6 nearest to 43 is 42. This means after writing 7 times the word BRIGHT Sam would have written 42 letters. Therefore, the 43rd letter Sam wrote would be the first letter of the word B. BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT B
