Question 132592: Problem: A designer, attempting to arrange the characters of his artwork in the form of a square grid with equal number of rows and columns, found that 24 characters were left out. When he tried to add one more row and column, he found that he was short of 25 characters. Can you find the number of characters used by the designer?
I don't understand if you are short 24 characters at first and then add another row and column, how can you then be short 25 characters? Maybe it is the wording "short of 25 characters that is throwing me off.
