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.
To form a perfect square with one toothpick, you can move one toothpick from the original square to create a smaller square inside it. To form another square in a different way, you can remove three toothpicks from the original square and rearrange them to create a new square adjacent to the original one. This method involves creating a larger square by adding the remaining toothpicks to the newly formed square.
Yes, if a generic square is made, and a toothpick along the vertical and horizontal line of symmetry, and then another generic square. 18 is enough to form it, and so is any double-digit number.JK they cant share any. But maybe, if you use more than toothpicks
Since every square has 4 sides and you only have 10 toothpicks, obviously you can't have the squares be separate. You will need exactly 2 toothpicks to overlap. Once you realize that, there are two shapes that are possible and can be rotated to make a total of 6 different solutions. A straight line (vertical or horizontal): = = = | | | | = = = Or an L-shape (forwards, backwards, and upside-down forwards and backwards): = | | = = | | | = = Sorry that these don't look quite right, the formatting is getting screwed up.

A square is a rectangle, rectangles don't have to be squares but squares have to be rectangles.
move
A square has 4 sides therefore 3 squares from 12 toothpicks will simply be three unconnected squares
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)
Remove one of the outer toothpicks and one of the dividers of two squares. there you have two SQUARES .

Start with a 2x2 square (that uses 8 toothpicks) Use the other two to make a 1x1 square in one of the corners of the big one..
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
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

Note that the question does not say how the 5 squares are arranged. Let me specify one scenario: ____ |_|_| |_|_| |_| Take the two toothpicks from the upper left corner (the upper-right and the corner right below it will do too) and put them inside one of the remaining squares like a cross +. I can count 7 squares or 8 squares, depending on whether I count the square that contains the + or not. If your question can be more specific about the count of toothpicks, perhaps we can have a better solution. ======================
the answer is 24
Using 8 of the toothpicks, make a square with two on each side. Using another two, make a smaller square in one corner of the first. Using the remaining two, make a cross in the middle of the second square. One large square on the outside, one medium square inside it and four small squares formed inside that, for a total of six.
