Question

The objective is simple.

Using four match sticks (let's say they're 2mm by 2mm by 40mm), make 5 squares.

You cannot cut, break, burn, or damage the sticks.

So far, I know of 2 answers that make sense...

Remember, think outside the box!

(I dun think this topic has been done before.. has it?)

OK, then

lay 2 on top of the other 2 and look at them horizontally pointing away from you. You will see 4 individual small squares and then the 1 bigger square they all form
