How many squares are in this picture? No math or trickery here--just count them.

Nice job. I couldn't get past 38, then gave myself a dope-slap when the two I missed were pointed out.

Happy New Year!

Trying to guess which two you missed. With symmetry everywhere, I think you missed the two squares made of up the 4 small squares, each.
