    This Qns has an error, should be "Divide the figure into 4 equal parts".

    Thanks Aston. Corrected the questions already.
    Received your solution too. Great job.

    Send you the 5-number questions. I think it's at least Sec 1 or 2 level to do this question.

    If it says '4 equal parts' its actually a very easy question. 3 squares divided into 4 parts is just taking each square and dividing into 4, and making out 3 small squares for each part.

    However, if it said 'identical' parts, then the answer provided in the link is the only correct one..

    Hi Clarence, you are right on. Some time the questions are not phrased properly or precisely. Thanks.
