    I calalate it with java.
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    int tmp1 = 0, tmp2 = 0, sum = 0;
    for (int i = 1; i <= 18; i++) {
    // X-axis j from 1 to I
    // Y axis Z from 1 to I
    // calculate of two transient values of x-axis y-axis
    for (int j = 1; j < i; j++) {
    tmp1 = 18 / j;
    for (int z = 1; z < i; z++) {
    tmp2 = 18 / z;
    sum += tmp1 * tmp2;
    }
    }
    }
    System.out.println("sum:" + sum);

    }

    The correct answer is 0.

    Hint: look closely at your board!
    In case you bought it in a normal shop you won't find one single square.
    But in case you made it yourself or it was home-made by a friend then
    there might be many of them.

    Well, I was wrong ... This is what sensei's library has for this
    question: 42. (Famous answer :-) ) https://senseis.xmp.net/?HowManySquaresOnAGoBoard

    Cheers,

    What about Chinese boards? I always thought they used square grids … was I mistaken all the time?
