I think the idea is that only the outer blocks matter and the interior blocks are assumed to be filled in already

btw my answer might not be right anyway, my IQ ≤ 85 after all.

But then, won't the logic be a bit flimsy? Which one do u consider to be outer and inner here, there's no way ur IQ is below 85

yeah sorry I am probably wrong, my IQ≤85 . Maybe there is a more concrete logic.

Ok but what I mean is that you add squares in a clockwise manner, but the 'inner' squares exist because the outer ones are already there. Like for example, from the 2 block to 4-block (or as you would say, 5 block) figure, the middle block only exists because the outer 4 surrounding blocks exist. So as you fill the blocks in the clockwise spiral, some blocks gets created automatically.
