Here’s why it’s tricky:
Top-facing squares — These are the squares that immediately draw the eye. They are the surface layers, often appearing as a simple grid.
Front-facing squares — Squares on the front or side planes that are partially visible can be overlooked if the brain focuses only on the top layer.
Hidden or implied squares — The puzzle may include squares that exist conceptually in the structure but aren’t fully visible in the image. Counting these requires imagining the full 3D structure.
Even if you are mathematically astute, the answer depends on what you consider “countable.” The ambiguity is deliberate: it reveals something about how your brain processes information.
