I challenge your answer :)

You think the correct number is 11, but I believe the true answer is 15. Your directions say how many squares can you create. Once you've created all the possible 'main squares', there are 4 smaller squares that are naturally created due to the cross-connects - these should count as well (unless you get more specific in the rules). Great puzzle!

I clarify the rules ;)
