    $\begingroup$ @kanchirk It should probably be noted that $7^2$ is forty-nine, not fo u rty-nine. Kind of messes up the whole puzzle, though. :( $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @GentlePurpleRain Thank you. You are right if it is American English. I spelt it the 'India' english way I was taught. In that case, I would pluralize the ending Squares. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @kanchirk It appears you were taught the wrong spelling. It is correctly spelled "forty" in all dialects of English. $\endgroup$
