Let’s try increasing the number of triangles! Here’s an idea for making four triangles.

Starting from a figure made of matchsticks arranged as two facing triangles, move three matchsticks to create a total of four triangles.

It might be a bit tricky to get started, so it could be helpful to take your time and try it together with a parent or teacher.

We hope you enjoy a wonderful time experiencing the fun of how the shape changes as you move the matchsticks.

Move one matchstick to make 1.

[Matchstick Puzzle] Move just one! If you can do it in 3 seconds, you’re a genius!? [Brain Teaser]

A puzzle where you create “1” by moving a single matchstick.

Because the problem consists only of “1”, “+”, and “1”, the options for movement are limited, which can ironically make people overthink it.

The answer is to move the vertical stick of the “+” to turn the “+” into an “=”.

This gives the equation “1 = 1,” which is valid.

People tend to think they must move the matchstick to form a different number or symbol, but this is the correct solution.

Doing it by drawing on paper or actually moving sticks as matchsticks can also help with finger rehabilitation.

Let’s try a slightly unusual and fun matchstick puzzle! There’s a dustpan made of four matchsticks with trash inside it.

Move two matchsticks to get the trash out.

This puzzle can be solved easily by changing the direction of the dustpan.

Try moving two sticks so that the trash ends up outside the dustpan.

It’s easier to understand if you actually try moving sticks, like cotton swabs, in real life.

Work together with people around you and enjoy figuring out the answer!

Move two matchsticks to make it twice the number.

We present a puzzle where you move two matchsticks in the number “100” to make it twice as large.

Thinking “What is double 100?” is the shortcut to the answer.

100 × 2 = 200.

Let’s try to make 200 with matchsticks.

The key point to reach the correct answer is not to be fixated on Arabic numerals.

The solution is to take the two horizontal strokes from the middle “0” and add those two strokes to the last “0.” Then, when you change the orientation…

You get the kanji for “two hundred” (二百).

In this puzzle, the correct answer was to transform the numeric “100” into the kanji “二百.”

A super difficult question that 99% of people got wrong

This matchstick puzzle is extremely difficult—99% of people get it wrong.

The challenge is to move one matchstick from the number “10” to make it “1.” What’s important here is flexible thinking: instead of the simple numeral “1,” can you think of another kind of “1”? The answer is to take the “1” from “10” and stand it in the center of the “0.” That creates the “1” face on a die.

Did anyone get it right? It’s one of those puzzles where you think, “Ah, I see!” once you hear the answer.

Let’s try a puzzle: “Add two matchsticks to a shape made of two adjacent squares to create three squares.” It’s tempting to think about placing a new square above or below the existing figure, but you can only add two matchsticks.

Since a square has four sides, you might conclude it’s hard to form a completely new square with just two sticks—and that insight brings you closer to the solution.

The answer is to add two vertical matchsticks in the centers of each square.

This creates a figure that looks like three overlapping squares.

How about a matchstick shape puzzle? Here’s one where you add three matchsticks to a hexagon made of matches to create six squares.

We tend to think of these puzzles in two dimensions, but try to loosen up your thinking.

The solution is to make a “Y” in the center of the hexagon using the three matchsticks.

What happens then? The hexagon transforms into a “cube.” In a flat, two-dimensional arrangement it’s hard to form squares, but with a cube, each face is a square.

Seeing it in three dimensions might bring you closer to the answer.

There are two trees. Move only two matchsticks to make a house.

This is a brain teaser where, from two trees made of matchsticks, you move two matchsticks to make a “house.” It might be easier if you think about what shape you’d draw for a simple house.

Many people would draw a house that looks like a square with a triangle on top.

Since you can move two sticks, move the two in the middle: turn one horizontally to make the floor of the house.

Once you’ve done that, it’s easy—use the other stick to make the roof.

If the answer doesn’t come to mind, you could prompt them to try sketching a simple house!

Take two matchsticks away to make two triangles!

Genius if you can solve it!? Matchstick Quiz 15!!

When you hear “matchstick puzzles,” many people probably think of problems where you make a correct equation from a matchstick-made expression.

This matchstick puzzle, however, is about creating a specified shape.

You start with a figure where four small triangles come together to form one large triangle.

Remove two matchsticks and make two triangles.

The correct solution is to take the two sticks that form the center triangle, leaving one large triangle and one small triangle.

The key to finding the answer is that you “remove” the matchsticks, not “move” them.

It’s a problem where flashes of insight and flexible thinking lead to the solution!
