Unlike in the solution, I am always taking a rectangle beginning on the left bottom, but the result is what was asked for :)

 Fun challenge. :) "Lost" one point on the 8th iteration (i guess due to rounding issues :)) and then changed from rectangles to triangles

iteratively build up squares and find next midpoints when the area is still not below 5 sqMi

Here's another one of my solutions; this time it matches exactly to the sample solution. I was trying to figure out how to match to the sample solution; if you create a Polygon with the Formula tool using ST_CreatePolygon, the answer is slightly different from the sample solution. Instead, using Poly-Build, I'm able to match exactly to the sample solution. I'm not sure why there's a small difference, but there is.
