Use of applied mathematics during hiring process for developers

Please solve a task. How it is possible to make two squares from 13 building blocks?

  1. Ring of side length 4 (12 blocks) and 1 block by itself. 2 squares.
  2. 9+4 - Don't understand the task in fact, and how am I supposed to give an answer? attach picture? :)
  3. p
  4. The task does not say, that these building blocks are all equal :), so in many ways.
  5. imposible
  6. 3x3 and 2x2 squares (9+4=13)
  7. 9
  8. 4 + 9
  9. 9/4
  10. Don't know
  11. many ways. depends on shape of building blocks. if they are cubes, 9 and 4.
  12. -
  13. 3x3+2x2
  14. depends on block size - it might be that 2 blocks make 1 square - then use 4 blocks and make 2 squares and keep the rest :D
  15. one is from 4 square blocks, other from 9 same blocks(with 1 inside)
  16. √9 + √4 = 13
  17. Use only 8 of them
  18. 3² and 2²
  19. squares with 9 and 4 building blocks
