What's that? How do you calculate that? I have only taken Linear Algebra, Mathematics 1, Mathematics 2, Mathematics 3 and now I am taking Signals and Systems and Probability and Statistics classes, you know, I am not really an expert at mathematics.

I don't know what you mean.

OK, break it up into intervals of the same *relative* size. So, you broke up the 100x100 into intervals of size 200 and the 200x200 into intervals of size 200. So, the first gives 100 intervals and the second gives 200.

You should first break the results into the same number of intervals to get a fair comparison.

Second,I think it is clear that the numbers have an overall downward trend with small upward fluctuations. But if you consider comparable intervals, the percentage of those increases will be less for larger squares and will go to decreases when you get large enough.

In regard to your second question, 42 is the answer to life the universe and everything in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (humor)
