  Here is the 40 for those that favor visuals. The number represent how many of each size there are. Mantis linked a good YouTube video as well.

  

   

  Blade, great illustration.

  Alosso, this is how I counted them.  16 + 8 1x1=24, 9 + 2 2x2=11, 4 3x3, and 1 4x4, for a total of 40...make sense now?  I lumped the large and small 1x1 together and the large and small 2x2 together.

  Man I must be a ditz - I missed the most obvious - the 4 x 4 square :)

  LOL yes - creative counting isn't it?

  I counted 44, but guess 9 has them already.

  Indeed, it's one reason my wife insists on doing our taxes every year.

  Red Squares only count if you're in Moscow.
