Consider a grid of squares. The central square is completely surrounded by eight squares. By shifting squares along the top and bottom, the central square may be completely surrounded by six or seven squares. Touching at the corners is allowed. All of these produce examples of a square surrounded with a 1-corona of squares. Surrounding the 1-corona to make a 2-corona requires anywhere between 19 and 25 squares.
