Today’s puzzle
One more week. One more flight back home on Thursday. One more puzzle.
Following is a rather poor attempt on my part to draw 12 matchsticks forming a tic-tac-toe shape. Here is what you have to do. Move only THREE of these sticks to new positions and form three identical squares.
This is too easy for one of your puzzles 🙂
Even I know this one….it is too easy
or are my FB friends getting more clever? 🙂
I will chose to believe that!!!!!
my daughter solved it in seconds I will send you via message
I think there is more to it… else it seems straight forward
Based on some answers, I think I should have been a little more precise…. The end result will be three identical squares and nothing else. No hanging sticks, left out sticks, extra shapes etc.
oh! then we ‘ve to think differently.
my answer still stands. Sent you picture. let me know if it is right or wrong.
Uncle,sent
thank you….i was wondering at the sudden smartness transformation 🙂 Now, I am no longer rushed 😉
Looks like quite a few have cracked this. Among others, the twin sisters Debatri and Bijetri, Ninad’s daughter, Shoma’s husband, Milind et. al. I am copying Robi (Shoma’s hisband’s picture)
