@SW-User Well, I looked at the individual squares first.
16 outside individual squares.
10 inner squares that make contact or are in line with the outer 16. (2 lines of 3 and 2columns of 2)
6 inner inner squares. The rest of the individual squares.
Thenext size of square is two by two ie 4 blocks.
4 4 block squares on the outside.
12 inner 4 block squares on the 4 x 5 block. I found it easier to count these by pretending I was sliding a 2x2 square across the picture and then downwards.
The next size square is 3x3.
6 3x3 square on that same rectangle (3 each line x 2)
Then the final is 4x4.
2 4x4 square in that same rectangle
SO 16+10+6+4+12+6+2= 56.
Interested to see if anyone has discovered more.

@Zeusdelight You could have received a BA, but unfortunately, someone has an answer before you. But I will place you as my second BA.
