Description

### What is the conjecture

https://www.erdosproblems.com/106

Draw $n$ squares inside the unit square with no common interior point. Let $f(n)$ be the maximum possible sum of the side-lengths of the squares. Is $f(k^2+1)=k$?

### Prerequisites needed
Needs some notion of a square in $R^2$.

### Choose either option
- [ ] I plan on working on this conjecture
- [x] This issue is up for grabs: I would like to see this conjecture added by somebody else
