15 matches are layed on a table so as to form 5 equal squares. (3 squares at the top & adjioning 2 squares on the bottom)

Now remove 3 matches to leave only 3 squares!

Gregs111,
Sorry but I couldn't even do it the way you explained it...

Answer 1

Ladyeagle,

Take the 2nd horizontal match of the 2nd square (top).
Take the 1st. vertical match off the 4th square (bottom).
Take the first horizontal match off the same 4th square.
Now, the 2nd square and the 4th square disappeared and you have only 3 squares moving only 3 matches!
It was hard but lots of fun!

Answer 2

thats easy make three squaesres using 10 matches all touching then put 2more squares using the squares that u made before now take 1 match from square 4 and 2 from sqaure 5

Answer 3

Can't be correct, but here goes.
If I remove the 3 vertical matches from the two bottom squares, I have the three top squares left. But, I am left with two vertical matches with nothing to do.

Answer 4

I win!

Thanks for the ten (10) points buddy (lol)!
