So, this thing has been gnawing at me for last 4-5 days, so I’m gonna bug you also. This👇 question was asked in my son’s Maths test: “How many 3cm squares can be cut from a cardboard of size 270cm x 320cm? a) 9600 b) 9500 c) 9400 d) 9300” There are two hills here, and I stand on one not visible.

I am on the hill of 9600. My argument is that while I can directly cut 9540 squares, I will cut remaining 2x270 into 540 1x1 squares and combine 9 of such squares to get 60 3x3 squares. And this is the hill I am willing to die for lol
