  • Answer

A collection of nn squares on the plane is called tri-connected if the following criteria are satisfied: (i) All the squares are congruent. (ii) If two squares have a point PP in common, then PP is a vertex of each of the squares. (iii) Each square touches exactly three other squares.

How many positive integers nn are there with 2018≤n≤30182018 \leq n \leq 3018, such that there exists a collection of nn squares that is tri-connected?
