the number of ways to pick a square of 3x3 is to fix the central most square of the 3x3 square
It has to start from the 2nd row and 2nd column and go uptil 7th row and 7th column.
that is 6x6 ways...

oh i got it!!!
6X6=36
64C9=166565455128576 X 60
6X6/64C9=6X6/166565455128576X10X6
=6/166565455128576X10
=3/166565455128576X5
=3/99392730771456
=1/33130910257152
This is the Answer!!!!!!!!!!!
