(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So A Friend Posted this on my Wall & It's bothering me because I don't know the answer
I thought 4 or 5 but Apperently that's not the answer; So Can I get you guy's opinions .
Here's the riddle.. Puzzle w.e!

Roffle is a pretty confused spyder. Rather than spin your average web, he only makes square versions. You know, maybe he's a genius and we don't know it! In any case, the square thing is still kinda weird.

Anyway, one day, he came upon this pattern of dots on the ground because that makes perfect sense. He decided to use this pattern to spin his next set of webs.


How many individual square webs can Roffle form using this template, if the dots mark the corners of the squares?
Enter an integer ONLY.

In mathematics, a Square is a rectangle, thus the question asks how many squares, as a square is the equivalent to that of a rectangle in definition that would mean there are 4 more possibilities to add.

I think I am WAY over analyzing this...

A square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not a square. A square has four congruent sides. A rectangle just has two sets of parallel congruent sides, therefore, those extra four are invalid.

A rectangle always has two sides longer, that's what makes a rectangle. A square has all for sides the same. We learn that in year 2. You are right with a square is a type of rectangle but there is a difference like i said about the sides.

Btw i think there is six.
