I'm slow too. It took me a minute then the light went on. The square is the size of the short side....squared???? Is this what you said?

I think I wrote this right, lol, feel free to correct if not..
I am still debating on that ruler, read some pros & cons about on one google link. If you have more good things to say about it, please do!
