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.
If the grid is 10 by 10 or 100 squares, then 2/10 would be 20 squares.
There are an infinite amount of numbers that that have squares between 10 and 65
A square has 4 angles, so ten squares have 10*4 = 40 angles.
90 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)
You make the number "10" with the 9 toothpicks or spell out "ten" with the 9 toothpicks.
To solve this, you simply have to put the toothpicks in the shape of a 1 and a 0 to make "10"
Use the image contained below for a reference.
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.
You could make 5 rectangles with 10 squares
form triangles side by side
__ __ | | __ __ | | __ __ hope u can see that. :S * * * * * Not easy to see. In any case, it gives two rectangles, not two squares. What you need is a 2x2 square and in one of its corners, a 1x1 square.
Check out the link. Any of those shapes, except the square, works.

this is just an opinion but you could loosely wrap the egg in tape to provide a soft outer shell, then make a cube out of many, many toothpicks and glue. next place the tape covered egg in the box and add a lining of straw between the egg and the toothpick box. then close the box and use a little tape around the toothpicks to add more of a stable protective cube. on impact, the cube should break open absorbing allot of the fall. the egg will hopefully bounce around a little. (without the bounce, the egg doesn't move at all] the pressure inside the egg will break it...) i hope this helped... idk, just a dumb idea Okay, good idea, but the we are talking about straws, not straw. The straws, along with the toothpicks and glue could make a substantial tinker toy type protective box. Built into a box consisting of two inch squares, a 20" box would have 10 layers of shock absorption Or, build a round ball with the straws and toothpicks to build a Mar's rover type balloon cushion. Of, course with the egg wrapped and suspended inside with the tape.
