~~To be fair, the large square can not be cleanly divided by the smaller square(s). Seems obvious to most people, but I didn't get it at first.~~

~~In other words: The size relation of the squares makes this weird solution the most efficient (yet discovered).~~

Edit: nvm, I am just an idiot.

Unless I’m wrong, it’s not the most efficient use of space but if you impose the square shape restriction, it is.

I love when I have to do research just to understand the question being asked.

Just kidding, I don't really love that.

But there are 7 squares in the middle with 10 around it, surely that counts for something
