  • Answer

The nonnegative integer nn and (2n+1)×(2n+1)(2 n+1) \times(2 n+1) chessboard with squares colored alternatively black and white are given. For every natural number mm with 1<m<2n+11<m<2 n+1, an m×mm \times m square of the given chessboard that has more than half of its area colored in black, is called a BB-square. If the given chessboard is a BB-square, find in terms of nn the total number of BB-squares of this chessboard.
