I find very good puzzle from YouTube and show it. Then I made new puzzle to find the number of rectangles of stair-like figures shown here. How to calculate the total number of rectangles included in this figure? I have no formula to calculate this answer, now.
First one, m=3 has 11 rectangles.
Second one, m=5 may have 54 rectangles.
How about m=7 and m=9?

Here you are ( m = 2*n+1)
My function "countRect" works via brute force and could deal with any cloud of points in a grid.
But once you know the first few numbers you can search for the sequence and of course you find it in OEIS: https://oeis.org/A213840
The "n" used in OEIS is "my n" plus one.
