Anybody has an idea of how to solve this problem?? I think it isn't very difficult, but I'm just not able to see this kind of problems :-?

I've thought about brute force (calculating the area of all squares and taking the biggest one), but I don't know how to generate all possible maximum squares that can be formed from a point (low-left corner for example)!

Thanks!


PS: Anybody knows where can I find geometric/grid problems with their solutions? I don't know how to approach that kind of problems (Problem D from NWERC '05, 10167...)

Solve problem - 836. Then I believe the problem (given in your post) can be converted to 836. If you are still facing troubles, you can tell me.
