You arrange 12 toothpicks into a large square, subdivided into four squares : 2 toothpicks on each side and four more, one each from the middle of the sides to the center of the large square. Now you have four (small) squares. Take away 2 adjacent toothpicks from the ones in the center, and you have 2 squares : one remaining small one and the large one that has the small one inside it.

Toothpicks with five squares move only two to make seven squares?
Note that the question does not say how the 5 squares are arranged. Let me specify one scenario: ____ |_|_| |_|_| |_| Take the two toothpicks from the upper left corner (the upper-right and the corner right below it will do too) and put them inside one of the remaining squares like a cross +. I can count 7 squares or 8 squares, depending on whether I count the square that contains the + or not. If your question can be more specific about the count of toothpicks, perhaps we can have a better solution. ======================
How do you remove 2 toothpicks to make 5 boxes into 4?
assuming by boxes you mean squares in two dimensions its easy. Make the five boxes all next to each other so they share sides then remove two toothpicks here the top and bottom of a middle box and you are left with 4.

How do you make five triangles with ten toothpicks?
You can make 5 triangles out of 9 toothpicks. With 6 toothpicks, make a large triangle with 2 toothpicks for each side. Now, take individual toothpicks, and make a smaller triangle inside the larger one by joining the midpoints of the sides of the previous triangle. (The vertices of the smaller triangle are the midpoints of the sides of the larger one).
How do you you make 5 triangles out of 9 toothpicks?
To make 5 triangles using 9 toothpicks, you can create a structure by forming a tetrahedron. Start with 6 toothpicks to form a triangular base and three additional toothpicks that connect each vertex of the triangle to a central point above, forming three more triangles with the base. This configuration allows you to utilize all 9 toothpicks effectively to create a total of 5 triangles.
If you have 12 toothpicks that are put in four squares that are connected How do you move 2 to make 7 squares?
Take two toothpicks that create an outside corner. Cross them like a + inside one of the remaining boxes. Count the new four smaller boxes inside it as 4, the one they are formed in as 5, and the two untouched boxes as 6 and 7. (The trick is to remember to count the larger box the 4 are formed in.)

How many toothpicks are needed to make 32 pentagons?
To form a pentagon, you need 5 toothpicks. Therefore, to create 32 pentagons, you would initially think to multiply 32 by 5, which gives you 160 toothpicks. However, if the pentagons share sides, the total number of toothpicks needed will be less. The exact number will depend on the arrangement of the pentagons, but for separate pentagons, you need 160 toothpicks.
