I used a trick

#

Count the smallest squares and the largest squares and multiply them

#

I don't really know if that trick works of a situation like that

#

what i usually do

#

i count the amount of shapes with n-parts

#

n-parts meaning there are n amount of shapes to make a square

#

and then summing them all up

#

so 1 part you get 7, 2 parts you get 3, 3 parts you get 3, 4 parts you get 1, 7 parts you get 2, 10 parts you get 1, and 11 parts you get 1

#

7+3+3+1+2+1+1 is 7+7+4 = 18

#

i missed something tho

#

Yea i get Your idea its Nice as well

#

I dont have time to recount it, but im pretty sure that i did count 19 squares, i was worried that there might be more not less, so probably its right
