The Rule of the Square

Today is the day I reveal a little secret of mine. "The rule of the square" is something I learned about when I was a kid, but I didn't really get it. After all these years, I still haven't managed to understand the rule!
Luckily, you and I can both learn more about the rule of the square in my app, Magnus Trainer!
