Extract

In a recent paper of the same title (2), Conway considered the problem of dividing a square of side N, into squares of integral side. The case when we demand that all these squares are of unequal size has been considered in some detail by various authors ((l),(4),(6),(7)). Conway considered the case with the condition relaxed. Dudeney ((3), Problem 173) has considered the same problem for the special case N = 13; hence the title of this paper.
