subtracted or added, can someone explain to me how you do it with only 2 squares? Seems like it would have to be 4.

Yes, it's 4, I bugged out! :) Fixed it

Ha, my first inclination was just to move 2 squares as that would be the least amount of work.

the meaning of the word “decide” comes from the Latin word decidere, which is a combination of two words: de = 'OFF' + caedere = 'CUT'.

a decision is not a commitment to something — its the act of cutting out shit. a much more interesting way of looking at it!
