Problems of the week - Toothpick puzzles

monday puzzler Apr 02, 2018

We have 2 puzzles to kick off our "Problems Of The Week".  We will publish the answers next week when we release a new puzzle for you to try!

PUZZLE 1:

Look at the diagram below.  Can you move only 6 toothpicks to create a new arrangement that has 5 squares?

PUZZLE 2:

The diagram below has 12 toothpicks arranged to form the shape of a cross.  Can you rearrange the toothpicks to create a new shape that has only 80% of the area of the original shape.  Your shape must be a single continuous shape where all toothpicks are arranged in a single continuous outline like the original.
