The puzzle
A chessboard has light squares and dark squares. Take the light ones, add the dark ones, then add the number of squares a knight can occupy at the same time as a bishop (none). How many?
💡 Hint 1
Two pieces can’t share a square, so that last bit adds zero.
💡 Hint 2
Light plus dark is just all the squares on the board.
🧭 The real question
How many squares are on a chessboard?
