It's common knowledge that there are 64 squares in a chessboard. There are actually 204 squares.
If the smallest square's side measures 1 unit, then there are 82 or 64 1x1 squares. Continuing the math, there are 72 2x2 squares, 62 3x3 squares, 52 4x4 squares, 42 5x5 squares, 32 6x6 squares, 22 7x7 squares, and 12 8x8 squares. So 82 + 72 + 62 + 52 + 42 + 32 + 22 + 12 = 204.
Think unconventional.
