這是一個有趣的問題。我嘗試了一些東西，最終實現了這個實現，即O(n^3)。我評論了這些代碼，希望你能按照這個想法去做。速度還有提升空間，但這個版本已經可以完成這項工作（例如，與迷宮尺寸500×500）：
Finished after 0.708 seconds.
Result: 112581 squares found, maximum square (x=13, y=270, size=18).
這是源代碼（Python 3中）：

'...#.',
'.#...',

# take start time

我希望這是你所期待的。如果您有任何問題，請在下面留下評論;）
O（n^3）算法如何？我認爲它仍然可以在1秒內適合n = 500 – shole
爲什麼不是右上角的3x3方格？ – MSeifert
無論是會工作，我不得不編輯示例，使其格式正確，沒有看到。 – Yunis
