You'll need 81 16 by 16 inch blocks.
12 ft = 144 in
144 in * 144 in = 20736 in2
16 in * 16 in = 256 in2
20736 in2 / 256 in2 = 81
Patio is 96 inches each side. If you do not intend to get into jigsaw puzzles you will need 5 pavers per side, a total of 25. These will cover an area 100 x 100 inches

Assumption: 6 x 6 is using inches as the unit (half a foot) and a 4 foot board means 4 square feet of board. Each square foot of board can be cut into four half foot x half foot pieces. Therefore, the 4 foot board would be able to make 16 half foot x half foot (6 inch x 6 inch) blocks.
6 inches is half a foot so it takes four 6 by 6 inch bricks to make one square foot. 348 x 4 = 1392. So you'll need 1392 bricks.
You need 8 cubic blocks of sides 0.5 inches to make a 1 inch block.

192 should do it.
This is a non-trivial question because the curvature of the circle means that in some cases a whole block is required to cover only a tiny part of the circle.Covering a circle with a diameter of 4 feet would require 16 blocks measuring 12 inch * 12 inch. This is despite the fact that the total area of the blocks is more than 27% larger than the area of the circle. This was proved by Maurizio Morandi in May 2009.If the 12 inch blocks are blocks comprising 12 blocks of 1 sq inch each, which can be configured as 2*6 rectangles, or 2+3+3+2+2 shapes, the the problem becomes hugely complex.
ACK ! 120 divided by 4.5 ( allowing for quarter inch seams ) = 26 blocks wide. 124 divided by 4.5 ( allowing for quarter inch seams ) -= 27 blocks deep. ( These are rounded numbers, since 27 blocks wide, is actually 26.66666 and 27.5555 blocks. ) For a total of 702 blocks. If you prefer, make 24 blocks wide and 26 blocks deep, and make up the difference in finished size with your border. 624 blocks.
