I apologize for the inconvenience of Ideabook returning later than previously announced.

Unexpected overnight layovers in Chicago are to blame.

14 (or 3 if you mean it must have all 4 colors)

14's breakdown:

1 6x6's
2 4x4's
3 3x3's
8 2x2's

I'm assuming "group of blocks" rules out all the 1x1's

sorry, meant to say "4" (not 3) if you have to have all 4 colors.

the 14 part remains the same.

Apparently I imagined an extra 4x4.

There are only 14.

Sorry.

I'm going to assume by that you mean there are only 13, which is true.
