commented about expansion to "Squres in a Square"
Expansion: needs a source

I have an immense amount of experimentally discovered things I could add to "Squares in a Square" which involve different grid shapes and altogether different shapes such as triangles. So much so that I could very easily create a whole other Wikipedia article on it. I would enjoy doing so, but I thought I would get a second opinion. In addition, although my stuff is definitely true, as I said, I figured out this stuff experimentally, so I have nothing to reference but myself. I know that isn't a very good answer, but I could ''really'' improve the depth of understanding and knowledge of that topic. I hope you will comment.

:You need to find a published source for this material if you want to include it here; see [[Wikipedia:Verifiability]] and [[Wikipedia:No original research]]. In addition, if the solution doesn't involve the same sequence of numbers, it may be a bit off-topic for this article, because this article is not about square-in-square type problems, it's about the sequence of numbers. That doesn't mean it can't be mentioned at all (after all, we do mention the problem of rectangles in a square grid) but it means that it would probably be inappropriate to include much detail. —[[User:David Eppstein|David Eppstein]] ([[User talk:David Eppstein|talk]]) 23:01, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
