If everything in math is logically connected, how have even simple sounding questions not been answered yet?

Not trying to answer this question rigorously, this is a purely conceptual question.

Say the potential due to a checkerboard of cell size [math] d \times d [/math] is of the form [math]V\sim \frac{1}{r^l}[/math], then a checker board of cell size [math]b \times b[/math] would have a potential of the form [math]V\sim \frac{1}{r^m}[/math] where [math] m > l [/math]. Is this true?
