DevinTo 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

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.
