A checkerboard made as a 7 x 7 matrix has a green basic cell placed in its middle as shown in the above structure.
Questions:
- How many squares, defined in that matrix, are covering the green cell?
- Can you extend the problem to any matrix size (i.e., n * n with n odd)? For example, what would be the answer for a 99 * 99 matrix?
