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.

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!

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.

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!
