-Take a square canvas, say 4x4, 5x5, 6x,6 or 8x8.
-Divide it into rectangles.
-The canvas must be entirely covered by non-overlapping rectangles.
-All side lengths must be whole numbers.
-No two rectangles can have the same dimensions. (You cannot have a 3x2 and a 2x3 rectangle together)
-What is the minimum difference between the area of the largest rectangle and the smallest?
