Answer, for those that were stumped: Frog in a blender.

I googled it and didn't find an answer :(

Ahh the Google generation.

Yup... you don't have to know everything, you just have to know how to google!

Yes, and equilateral as well.

(I'll assume you aren't taking a jab at the diagram itself but rather assuring anyone else in the thread that you know what an isosceles triangle is)

I still don't see how that arrangement yields 4 equilateral triangles. Care to explain?

I'm pretty sure that makes 8 triangles... 4 small (NW, NE, SE, SW) , then 4 pairs (NW & NE, NE & SE, SE & SW, SW & NW)

Sorry, if it's not obvious, that was an attempt at a 3d tetrahedron.

EDIT: I just so happen to have a tetrahedron on my desk right now, so this might help you visualize what I was trying to show in the 2d drawing

Yes :( And google didn't have the answer.

Break the toothpicks in half = 6 toothpicks x 2 = 12 halves / 3sides = 4 triangles

I'm owning this thread so much ya'll should be paying me rent!

Use the same 6 toothpicks to make 4 equilateral triangles.

that doesn't look like an equilateral triangle to me. and I only see 5 toothpicks.

The answer, which took me a half second to work out on a piece of paper, is an equilateral triangle inside of an equilateral triangle. Also ,technically it creates 5 equilateral triangles

:confused:

Answer = Tetrahedron

My MS Pain Skills are Lacking

:facepalm;

I didn't see a rule that said toothpicks have to be the same size. I've got bigg-uns, little-uns, small-uns, every size-uns.

LOL your pic is terrible yo yo :D

Though I knew what you were trying to draw. Still, you could have made it much more distinct that you were drawing a 3-D image.
