If you are genius solve this - part 8 ( matchsticks puzzle )

try solving 7 puzzles related to reforming shapes built using matches.
have fun :)

[@lomax343]

There are several with multiple solutions - and I don't mean mirror images.

I got different answers for 1-1 6-3 & 6-5

[@brendon24k23]

@@DarkMagicianGirl0 I got a different answer for 6-3 as well

[@Joshua-ew6ks]

Number 2: I did it differently. I used 8 matchsticks to make two squares. Then I place two matchsticks into each square so that each squares would have 3 rectangles. The rules said nothing about it being one shape with 6 equal areas. Though if it had to be one shape I could take the points of each square and connect them.

[@someonesomebody7651]

answer for 1: Take 2 matches and just put them away, bam, you got 4 squares 😄

[@nurdboy5060]

Ya he dint said that each and every stick should be a part of shape

[@bluetube767]

Sometimes my genius is, its almost frightening

[@zachmiranda2788]

There's a second solution for number 1, the squares just aren't all the same size. Move the top of 3 to the left of the top of 2 and the right of 3 above the right of 4 and you have square 1, 5, a 2x2 square including 2,3,4, and the new square created , which is the fourth square.

[@Boi-dj3eo]

The first one was the hardest cuz I needed to get into it

[@Naymy]

I can do number 7 in three moves. Move the middle end match [vertical] to the lower left corner of the outside [5x5] square [Horizontal] Move the middle end match [Horizontal] to the lower left corner of the inner [3x3] square [Horizontal] Move the middle end match [vertical] to 90 degrees to the left and complete the small square [1x1] [Horizontal] You will end up with the smallest square in the lower left corner of the inner [9x9] square. Also, I found several different solutions to many of the other puzzles. In fact, I actually found the first 2 puzzles to be the hardest. The rest were relatively easy. Need to see more of your videos!!

[@Miscio94]

do we really need to watch the matches appear one by one in each puzzle? and also information describing what we are seeing? This video should be less than 5 mins...

[@barutjeh]

this video should be a webpage.

[@Konniemm]

agreed

[@adenwalker3779]

But then he/she wouldn't get that juicy ad revenue

[@KorZen10]

For number 6 you could also the first 7 inside the largest square so that you leave a row at the bottom of squares. Then, take away one more stick anywhere inside the largest square.

[@eboone]

Oh, take all the time you need. I really need you to make every individual shape on the screen a black square with a number inside because I don’t know how to count. S A R C A S M

[@alexgehales]

Nice video, last one took a little more thought, also there are multiple solutions to some of the puzzles.

[@jackhoward3670]

For the first one, you can move the left sick of square 3 and the bottom sick of box 1 to make a big square with square 2 inside of it

[@EpicEverz]

I had another solution for puzzle #4, where all 4 triangles are the same size. Remove the two matches that form the left sides of triangle #4, and the two that form the right sides of triangle #5. (or, since it's symmetrical, you can remove the left sides of #2 and the right sides of #7 for the same result) Had a different solution for puzzle #6.1, where I removed the four matches on the middle of the outside. You'll end up with 5 equally sized squares shaped like a cross. #6.5 can be solved with 1 large square and two small ones. Remove the same 4 that you remove at the start of the solution to #6.2, then you can remove another 4 to remove two small squares as well as break up the medium-sized square.

[@groszak1]

Most of them have multiple solutions, for example in the first one you can move the matches to the bottom and to the right of "5" outside

[@fantell]

question one doesn't ask for four squares the same size... I saw this first: move the left and bottom matchsticks from box 2, and place them to form a new square using the bottom stick from box 1 and the left stick from box 3, replacing the old squares of 1, 2, and 3 with a smaller and larger square to make four total squares.

[@eddied.3426]

nice one! didn't see that

[@scriptkiddie7485]

that wouldn't make a square... it would make an octagon

[@fantell]

Judix uhhhhh..... OK..... I see what happened... sweety, two matches in a straight line still make a straight line, ok?

[@scriptkiddie7485]

MIchael Hannah no haha sweetie they make TWO straight lines ;)

[@dipankarbanerjee1130]

I have one more different solution of the number (1) . took the right match of 2 and placed horizontall with 2's upper match and moved the upper match of 4 vertically as to 4's right match.

[@DavidHume-Educator]

6-3 at 10:11 has another solution. In the first and last rows of vertical matches, take out the middle two. Take away the two horizontal matches from the middle square. You are left with one big square and two small ones at the left and right middle.

[@GabbrEL]

on number one: the left and bottom matches that forms square 2 repositioned between square 1 and 3. you get 3 small squares +one big square. In total = 4

[@breathless792]

the first one has another solution: take the following matches: the one at the bottom of square 1 and on the left of square 3 and make a big (2x2) square using the squares 1,2,3 and the empty space, this removes 1 and 3 and creates a 2x2 square, the other 3 squares are 2,4 and 5

[@Lady_Rhea]

Number one was the only one that took more than ~20-30 seconds, but wow it took me forever.

[@eddied.3426]

pshh i got them all! yay! some were so easy i solved in seconds :D hardest was i think 6 no. 2 in no. 4 i got there in a different way: remove 3 matches making up the middle triangle of one of the sides so you are left with one big empty triangle. then the fourth you remove from one of the sides of the other so that you are left with one big triangle and 3 small ones (the small ones together make up an equal-lateral trapese)

[@ravinderkaure5656]

These are insane

[@ammaristanbilly7728]

I got all of it I love these match sticks puzzles and 1was the hardest

[@vanskid]

I can do #2 with only 7 matches. make a square with 4 of them, put a 5th in the middle, splitting it, and use the 6th and 7th perpendicular to the 5th, dividing it again

[@tourettefdw8469]

For the second puzzle just imagine a cube.

[@epsilon499]

Q2 you can just remove one match and make the rectangles equal by moving them over a bit.

[@hyporealisttsilaeropyh6175]

The first one under number six can also be solved by removing the middle match on each side of the biggest square...

[@GabbrEL]

at number 3 - you only have to move ONE match to form three squares : any from inside!

[@ThomasEdits]

For the first one i moved the matches that bordered 1-2 and 2-3 to down left and made a big square and a small square, 1-2-3-x | x | 4 and 5,

[@RoderickEtheria]

The puzzle with move 4 match sticks to make 3 squares, seriously? That's so easy. You just have to form a square apart from the rest of the figure.

[@mattmathmattmath9174]

Wow! I got 6/7 right, the easiest being the house and hardest being #2 (with some alternate answers and all in my brain, no paper).

[@aydendern9803]

the first one was like the skeleton part of crash box

[@AZUREPHOENIX777]

Alternative solution to number one. Matches moved: the one between squares 2 and 3, and the one between squares 3 and 4. They should be moved to the top right, forming another square to the right of 2, and above 4. Now, there are 4 squares. 1 and 5 still exist as the first and second. 2, 3, and 4 no longer exist as individual squares, and instead combine with the newly formed one to create one big square. This big square is our third, and the newly formed square exists inside of it as the 4th.

[@TacomaPaul]

On the first one... I can make 4 cubes by only moving *ONE* match. Remember, there are *no* rules given. It never says all matches must touch. Move top left match away from the other 2 it touches. There you go... 4 cubes. (Remember... never assume anything).

[@danieldrakeford4820]

all of these puzzles have more than 1 awnser, please do puzzles that have a specific awnser

[@karmavijay8386]

There is another solution for 6. Remove the two sticks on the top middle and the two sticks on the bottom middle (inside the square btw)

[@MyGoatIs7]

I did the first one with a different method.I took the two matches from the 4 or 5 up and down

[@Jelle_NL]

12:17, this one can be done while only moving 3 matches as well.

[@hopec297]

When you said "create 4 squares" i thought i was supposed to create 4 more squares. I blame you for my failure.

[@rykim3107]

for 6.5 there is another solution whereby u remove the extra matches,leading to two small squares at either corners of the big square

[@arjaycruz2442]

for number 5 its better to mo the middle matches of every side...

[@mohamednaim8385]

I solved all of them except the 1st one The 6th has a lot of solutions

[@jamescrawford327]

Fun stuff.

[@edwardm.9316]

Alternate solution to 2: Use 12 matches to make a cube.

[@lucaswatson5845]

After being absolutely jaded by the lack of rules for #1 and somewhat #2, I did manage to keep a solid streak for questions 3-5 on all parts. Then, I wanted to skip the diagram where you go over why #6 makes 14 squares and accidentally went too far into a solution. Please, for the sake of conveniece, establish more thorough rules, have the entire puzzle/solution appear at once instead of wasting a solid minute moving single matchsticks around with horrid intervals, and perchance choose a better background and font. I did like the puzzles, though. Keep it up!

[@aarondabaus8545]

I like how number three was squares and number four was triangles

[@agardastro8779]

7:15 Theres An Another Way To Get 4 Triangles You Should Remove Matches That Looks Like An "N" Or Mirrored "N" It Creates 4 Triangles Instead Of Removing Matches Looked Like An "X"

[@Sylnin]

6.1 has another solution: remove the middle match off each side of the larger square, leaving five squares connected by the corners.

[@Sylnin]

In 6.3, take the left three squares and take the middle match. Take the top tree squares and take that middle match. Take the four matches from the larger square on the bottle right corner. Now you have one small square in the top left corner, one larger square in the bottom right, and the largest overall square.

[@Sylnin]

My goodness so many have multiple solutions that aren't in the video

[@windowstudios45alt]

I removed the the top left horizontal match (top of top left corner) the bottom of the middle top, the top of the top right and the right of the top right

[@windowstudios45alt]

@@Sylnin I legit removed the right most match of the right most rows

[@windowstudios45alt]

For 6.4 I just deleted the center square, then deleted the bottoms of the top corners, then the tops of top corners

[@rekhabindal7370]

it was very easy I got 20 solutions of every question

[@markgross9582]

I'm 3 grades ahead in math, and 2 in science as an eighth grader, and this made me feel stupid

[@singingqueer9879]

For me all of them were easy except for the last 1

[@uzairm3816]

it says for #2 that you have to "reform" the matches to create 6 equal areas with only 12 matches I can do it with 1 match I'd just take one match, split it into 16 little sticks, and copy the original design. "reforming"

[@vkulanthaivel]

For #5, rotate the match 60°

[@robina7314]

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 adds

[@BuggatiWeryon]

On the first one I just removed 2 matches from the 4th square

[@sxrootio6049]

On number four it says, "Your task is to remove 4 matches to create only 4 triangles", you made two triangles and two trapezoids...

[@lllbutcher]

Yes there is a better solution to 4. Look at the leftmost triangle. Remove the 2 matches leading to the right of its upper vertex. Likewise, remove the 2 matches leading left from the lower vertex of the right triangle. I dont have matches, so haven't tried it. But I imagine it works.

[@lllbutcher]

Theres a better solution for 6 too. The pace is too slow.

[@Herp729]

q 4 make the triangles connected with all matches and have 4 triangles+move 4 matches

[@rickywutever7580]

this proves I am a genius

[@kennyearthling7965]

super easy!

[@Joshua-ew6ks]

For problem #1 the rules never said anything about not having incomplete squares or that you could not overlapping the matchsticks. [Just saying!] It only said you have to move 2 matchsticks and have 4 squares when you are done.

[@shalinijaiswal86]

move match stick between 1 nb2 and 2 n 3 to make 123 a bigger square

[@noahvess610]

2:52 ok...that looks like a cube

q 3 what about the boxes in the middle?those count

[@shinyhoney4490]

very nice

[@Anonymous71575]

Only the second question did I not get... The rest, most of them I technically got them; but a lot of them aren't the same as your answer; and I don't mean mirror/rotational images.

[@mhesus]

I did number 2 with 7 matches =3

[@joieboie4946]

I got 3,4 correct

[@merlinrainbow2804]

lots have multiple solutions... E.G. Q6:1 has a second solution... remove the 4 outside edge matches.

[@theiceana7237]

4 squares? 2 matches? easy. See square 5? Take ANY 2 matches of that square EXCEPT for the match it shares with square 4 (left match) to your pocket or matchbox. Boom. Now there are only 4 complete squares; 1, 2, 3, and 4.

[@universalgamedesign6104]

okay, I'll just visualize them in the correct places...that counts. right?

[@niallmartin4078]

On number one I just moved two matches on 5 so then is wasn't a square anymore and then there was only 4

[@andreimihalcea2203]

Actually many questions had more than one answer. So before making the video you should check them all instead of saying that just one of them has 2 solutions. And I'm not talking about multiple solutions because of the symmetry

[@sportsoutdoorsandmore6341]

I got number 4 rite!OMG
