'''Description''': This board has 12 dots on it. Your task is to connect these dots to form as many squares as possible. You can use each dot multiple times, and you can orient the squares however you wish to fit them on the board. However, to be counted as a square, each corner must be on a dot. How many different squares can be drawn on the board?

*'''Hint 1''': You can use a given dot as many times as you like and can orient the squares however you need to to fit them on the board. In other words, you're going to reuse dots, and you should be on the look out for a few diagonally oriented squares.

*'''Hint 3''': All four of the medium-sized squares are tilted 45 degrees. Can you see them on the board? Now that you have the above information, all that's left for you to do is find the biggest type of square. when you know how many of these are on the board, you'll be done!
