If you get a bit creative, you will be able to make the word HAT using 5 toothpicks. If you make the 'H' skinny using 3TP and have the horizontal TP extend out towards the right. Then use 1TP to lay at an angle connecting to the second leg of the 'H' and crossing the horizontal TP leaving a bit extended to form the 'A'. The use 1TP to connect to the extended horizontal toothpick to form the 'T". 3 +1 +1 = 5 toothpicks to make the word HAT. However, if you want to do it the simple way, you'll need 8.
2 rectangles. Put two toothpicks on 2 sides and one on the other side, and that uses 6 toothpicks and if you make another rectangle like that you make 2 rectangles.
If one of the nine toothpicks is the common base of the two congruent isosceles triangles with sides formed by two toothpicks.
7 squares is forty nine so you remove two toothpicks to make the digits 49
5
I think 2
To solve this, you simply have to put the toothpicks in the shape of a 1 and a 0 to make "10"
You make the number "10" with the 9 toothpicks or spell out "ten" with the 9 toothpicks.
Arrange the 9 toothpicks thus: 7 + 3
You can glue toothpicks in layers around the egg then make a container for the egg to go in.Also, you can put super glue around the egg.I think if you did this your egg would withstand the fall.
break the toothpicks and you've doubled your amount of toothpicks
You can make 5 triangles out of 9 toothpicks. With 6 toothpicks, make a large triangle with 2 toothpicks for each side. Now, take individual toothpicks, and make a smaller triangle inside the larger one by joining the midpoints of the sides of the previous triangle. (The vertices of the smaller triangle are the midpoints of the sides of the larger one).
2 rectangles. Put two toothpicks on 2 sides and one on the other side, and that uses 6 toothpicks and if you make another rectangle like that you make 2 rectangles.
by tearing it
You make 3-D! Look... 6 squares in one cube and you can do that with toothpicks too!
Make a two by two grid with six toothpicks, and then place the other two toothpicks at a 45 degree angle on the corner of two of the squares.
The answer is 8 if no toothpicks can cross and each letter is separate: 3 make the F, 3 the A, 2 the T. It could be 5 if the letters are combined together as a single shape (like a block A, with a possible 5th toothpick from the center down). This is a variation of the standard riddle, which usually just excludes breaking and bending. (see related question)
Make it with toothpicks.
