What is the maximum number of points common to the intersection of a s

We might start by examining the number of ways that ONE SIDE of a triangle can intersect a square.
In other words, in how many ways can a LINE intersect a square?
After a bit of mental imagery, we might conclude that a SINGLE LINE can intersect a square in at MOST 2 ways

A triangle is composed of THREE LINE SEGMENTS.
If each SINGLE LINE can intersect a square in at MOST 2 ways, then the 3-sided triangle can intersect a square in AT MOST 6 ways (with 2 intersections per line)
So, the correct answer must be 6 or less

At that point, if we're able to sketch a scenario in which there are 6 intersections, we can be certain that this is, indeed, the GREATEST number of intersections.
