Why do you ask?
I just knew a lady by that reference...
Was THAT her name, Black Forrest??
No but she had one. This will be deleted in three, two, one...
She played with The Grateful Dead, didn't she?? Don't tell mom.
You dirty minded chess players, I called her that because she like to bake Black Forest Hams!
What's dirty about Black Forest Cake? That's what I thought you meant.
Lol, ok.
I can tear into some of that cake, let me tell you.

This is a question that I do not know.

sqaures?
There are infinitely many squares on the board, since the OP didn't specify that the squares had to have a different color inside and outside the boundary of the square. Even a1 alone contains infinitely many squares, unless you believe size only makes sense as a concept down to a certain scale (the Planck length, perhaps), in which case there would not be infinitely many, but still many more than you can shake a barrelful of monkeys at.
I think there are 204 monkeys in a barrel
And I HAVE shaken a barrel full of monkeys at a LOT of things in life.
That's one big barrel...of monkey poo.

Is it tasty? Is it crunchable?
If anyone wondered how to get this, use fifth roots of unity on (1+x)(1+x^2)...(1+x^20)
because you want to add up all the coefficients - but only if they belong to an exponent divisible by 5. This isn't strong elementary school like the squares question, it's more like strong high school.

6000.
I don't believe that.
Hmmm... oh well... I tried.

Aha! cool.
