In the grid next to this text, delete 9 line segments so that no squares of any size (1x1, 2x2, 3x3 or 4x4) remain.

Too easy? Comment 6 of 6 |

Call the vertical segments 1-20 starting at top left. remove 2,3,4,7,9,12,14,17,19. You are left with 6 1*2 rectangles and a 1*4 rectangle, or any of the numerous reflections, rotations, variations of this.

Way too easy. Or am I missing something?
