Take two toothpicks that create an outside corner. Cross them like a + inside one of the remaining boxes. Count the new four smaller boxes inside it as 4, the one they are formed in as 5, and the two untouched boxes as 6 and 7. (The trick is to remember to count the larger box the 4 are formed in.)
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.
You can arrange them to make a cube.12 edges, 6 faces.

Not a clue. The correct answer is to take away a square. Since it requires 4 lines to make a square in the first place. Bam, just take away one of the squares. Pretty simple.
A square box - with top and bottom both square. (or a box with square ends)The top and bottom make two squares, the four other sides are flat and rectangular. There are eight corners - four around the top and four around the bottom. There are twelve edges, four around the top, four around the bottom, and four joining the top and bottom.A rectangular box is also called a rectangular parallelepiped.
You arrange 12 toothpicks into a large square, subdivided into four squares : 2 toothpicks on each side and four more, one each from the middle of the sides to the center of the large square. Now you have four (small) squares. Take away 2 adjacent toothpicks from the ones in the center, and you have 2 squares : one remaining small one and the large one that has the small one inside it. (see related link)
Old one. Make a square out of four squares, then remove two adjacent inside toothpicks. This leaves a large square with a small square inside.
make three squares and overlap them so that two of them meet in the center of the third square, making four smaller squares in the center
You make 3-D! Look... 6 squares in one cube and you can do that with toothpicks too!
A square has 4 sides therefore 3 squares from 12 toothpicks will simply be three unconnected squares
move
7 squares is forty nine so you remove two toothpicks to make the digits 49
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.
Make one square out of four toothpicks and then make another square using one of the sides of the first square and the remaining three toothpicks. It is easy. Make a square out of four toothpicks. Put three toothpicks around one of the bottom corners of your first square to form a second square. IGNORE THE LINES LOOK AT THE NUMBERS! 1__2 3__4__7 ___5__6
Is this question supposed to have 12 toothpicks to make 4 squares and then move 3 toothpicks to make 3 equal sized squares? Answer depends on the restrictions. Just move 3 sticks from any square to form a straight vertical or horizontal line up of squares is one option if there is no restrictions other than the three resulting squares are equal sizes.
make a circle
bend 2 toothpicks at 90 degree angles and put them cornor to cornor
