Turning this into 3 squares requires 3 tooth pics to be moved to make (ignore the dots, they're just to line things up!)

There are 9 squares I can see 12 squares in an array of 2 * 4 squares
12 squares.
If they are 1 x 1 squares there would be 144 in a 12 x 12 grid.
A square has 4 sides therefore 3 squares from 12 toothpicks will simply be three unconnected squares
5/12 of the squares, which is 4+1/12.
Well, A square is a type of rectangle, so I image 12 squares is the same as saying 12 rectangles. Unless the squares are touching each other, then if two squares are touching then another rectangle would be formed.. etc etc

Oh, dude, you're really making me count squares now? Alright, so in a 12 by 12 grid, you've got 144 squares in total. Yeah, that's like, if you count 'em all up, you'll find a grand total of 144 squares. Happy now?
