It is harder to describe than to demonstrate. Make a square with four of the picks. Then lay one pick so it bisects a side and only reaches the center of the square. Place a second pick so it touches this pick inside the square and bisects an adjacent side. You've made a small square in side the first square. Last use the last two picks to make a square with those two picks. This should give you two large squares that are 1 by 1 and a third square that is 0.5 by 0.5.

What level will use 24 toothpicks if you continue a design made to form triangles First level uses 3 Second level uses 6 Third level uses 9 toothpicks etc?
There is a pattern here: Level 1 uses 3 = 3 × 1 toothpicks Level 2 uses 6 = 3 × 2 toothpicks Level 3 uses 9 = 3 × 3 toothpicks So it looks like each level uses 3 times the level number of toothpicks. ı→ 3 × level = 24 → level = 24 ÷ 3 = 8 So Level 8 uses 24 toothpicks.

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.
