problem

Consider a 5×55 \times 5 grid of squares. Vladimir colors some of these squares red, such that the centers of any four red squares do not form an axis-parallel rectangle (i.e. a rectangle whose sides are parallel to those of the squares). What is the maximum number of squares he could have colored red?

Consider a $5 \times 5$ grid of squares. Vladimir colors some of these squares red, such that the centers of any four red squares do not form an axis-parallel rectangle (i.e. a rectangle whose sides are parallel to those of the squares). What is the maximum number of squares he could have colored red?
