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

: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.

Ok, you spend 2 minutes drawing a great toothpick tetrahedron :p

I didn't think I had to do a super job with it since I already declared "Answer = Tetrahedron" in the previous post.

There is no way fusetalk will handle the answer...

/\ place one cocktail stick on each corner and incline towards the center at 60 degrees.

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

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

Ahh the Google generation.

A frog in a blender very quickly becomes just red.

That is more akin to "How do you get 100 babies into a bath? How do you get them out again?"

I was looking for stairs, but I suppose your answer would work. I should've worded it as "What physical object goes up and down, but never moves?" Otherwise any sort of reading could be used as the answer.
