FranTo move 4 toothpicks from 4 squares to make 3 squares, you can start by taking one toothpick from each of two squares and using them to create a new square. This will leave you with two squares. Then, take two toothpicks from one of the remaining squares and use them to join the two squares together, forming a larger square. This way, you have successfully moved 4 toothpicks from 4 squares to make 3 squares.

How do you make 3 squares with 12 toothpicks?
A square has 4 sides therefore 3 squares from 12 toothpicks will simply be three unconnected squares
How do you make a square out of 3 toothpicks?
break the toothpicks and you've doubled your amount of toothpicks
How do you move three lines from five squares to make 4 squares?
Move 3 lines "from" - do you mean 'remove 3 lines from' - or - move 3 lines to other places? Anyway, this all depends on the layout of the five squares.
How can you take 9 toothpicks and make ten without breaking the toothpicks?
Arrange the 9 toothpicks thus: 7 + 3
If i have 12 matches how do i move them to make 3 equal squares?
A sort of triangle of squares. Lay out 3 squares side by side using 10 matches. Take the middle match from the bottom row and use it and the other two to make a square based on the middle match of the top row.
