First, we need to get the relation between time required to stop and dimension of the square. We do some rough calculations.
Assume length of the square's sides are d, mass is m, and coefficient of friction is μ. Hence, the torque works on the square is
Combining these two equations to get α,
Because \alpha is angular acceleration,
And now, we can get
Because
Now consider there are 4 squares rotating around the edges like shown below.

Using the equation above, so we can get the time for a square with side d,
That's my solution.
