Exactly correct.

Thanks. I have updated the answer to 34.

Can you provide a clearer explanation of the count? Thanks!

Unless we're counting rectangles as squares now, there are only 26, which isn't even an answer choice. Squares can be classified as rectangles, but rectangles cannot be classified as squares. Each corner block and the center block count as 5 squares (4 inside, 1 encompassing), and then there's the overall square itself. 5x5+1=26. The side rectangles should not be counted as squares.

Matt, he is not counting the rectangles; he is including the not so obvious squares.
