You see before you a grid of four squares made of 12 virtual toothpicks. Your task is to reposition THREE toothpicks so that you will wind up with only three squares. None of the toothpicks can be removed; all squares have to still connect in some manner; and all toothpicks must be part of a square in the new equation.
