204 squares

Well done! - for those who would like an explanation:

There are 8 x 8 individual squares = 64
There are 7 x 7 (2x2) squares = 49
There are 6 x 6 (3x3) squares = 36
There are 5 x 5 (4x4) squares = 25
There are 4 x 4 (5x5) squares = 16
There are 3 x 3 (6x6) squares = 9
There are 2 x 2 (7x7) squares = 4
There is 1 x 1 (8x8) squares = 1

So the total = 64+49+36+25+16+9+4+1 = 204

Next?

yehey...will post one.

a man in a white stripe shirt with a cat and two dogs where walking in a park 1/2 kilometers from his home they turn left at the end of the street after 100 meters, the two dogs barks at the cat for no reason. continue to walk another 50 meters,after reaching halfway.the cat runaway leaving the man and the 2 dogs, still the man and the 2 dogs continue to walk another 300 meters.at the 4th corner they stop.

yes it is...your turn

Are you serious?

Old one, best one I could come up with at the moment lol.
There's a room. In the centre of this room is a table. On the floor there is shattered glass and water everywhere. The window is open and the curtains are billowing. Jack and Jill are dead on the floor. How did this happen?

Yep - nearly as old as me! The glass is from a shattered fish bowl - Jack and Jill were two fish in the bowl.

Well played Your turn
