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.
There are 100 squares in a 10 by 10 grid.To discover the total number of squares in any square or rectangular grid, multiply the number of squares along two adjacent sides and you will arrive at the correct answer everytime.From Someone Else:The grid itself is a square alone; think about it, that's 1 on top of your 100.Look closer. There are actually 385 squares
There are an infinite amount of numbers that that have squares between 10 and 65
If the grid is 10 by 10 or 100 squares, then 2/10 would be 20 squares.
A square has 4 angles, so ten squares have 10*4 = 40 angles.
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.
Depends on the units used for 10 by 10: centimetres or inches or some other unit.
