Let's start with a logic puzzle! Which square fits in the last grid?
@DarkWolf
Husband thinks it is 1826 as it is the only one that appears in a 24 hour clock.
@lazyKatz
Good idea 💡, but can we find a different logic to come to a different answer?
How many squares can you count in the image below?
@DarkWolf
39 squares
@DarkWolf
The answer will require an odd number because the whole block is a square.
I theorize:
16+4+8+2+4+6+1 = 41
you have the 4 squares by 4 = 16
you have the 2 squares by 2 = 8
3 square by 3 = 6
middle section
1 + 1 = 2
the four singles in each group = 8
@DarkWolf
I didn't count correctly. It's is 40, but if you consider the word "Square" to be a Square as well.. then it's 41 :D
@BrightIndigo
could be potential 46 in hind sight of my post
@BrightIndigo
If it was a riddle the answer would probably have been 41, but as a logic puzzle it's 40 😂
@DarkWolf
This is definitely proving to cause lots of interest
@lazyKatz
That it has ;)
Husband thinks it is 34 and I thought 31
@lazyKatz @cloudySummer @BrightIndigo @Barltik2065
Thank you all for your participation, the correct answer is indeed 40!
If you didn't get them all, this might be a good image to visualize the answer.
@DarkWolf
Ahhhh I see where I went wrong it was with what is counted as 4 which cancels the "odd" with number 1. Two odds equals and even.
Cool!!! Love it!
@DarkWolf
Key word was Bovine and Grape for me. had to find common six letter word. First there were very little six letter words in the Bovine world. Next was the grape that was of same

@DarkWolf
Put on ice
@lazyKatz
You beat me LOL
Good JOB!!!
@lazyKatz
Yes, that's the one I was looking for 👍
@DarkWolf
OUT ON ICE
@Barltik2065
Unless it's a typo, make sure you do change a letter in each word. So ''out'' has to be something else, like ''put''.
Still, well done!
@DarkWolf
Maybe TAP as it's the only word that can be spelt backwards and make sense
@lazyKatz
Tap is the correct answer 💡
But can someone find out why it is? Hint: there's a way to match shorter words to the longer ones.
Keep the ball rolling
@lazyKatz @cloudySummer
You both got it! 👌
