Guest Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
