If you move one of the toothpicks from the lower left square over to fill the gap, then it becomes 5 small squares and 1 big square made of 4 little ones.
ReplyDeleteWill you give us a share of the google ad revenue if we give you post ideas?
ReplyDeleteAndy, I'd be happy to do so, but since I make so little on this blog, I doubt it would be worth sending you a check.
ReplyDeleteIf you move the toothpick in the middle to the outside, you get 2 big squares and four small squares.
ReplyDeleteTamara, I'm sure you have it right, but I'm just having trouble picturing your solution.
