break the toothpicks and you've doubled your amount of toothpicks
To solve this, you simply have to put the toothpicks in the shape of a 1 and a 0 to make "10"
You make the number "10" with the 9 toothpicks or spell out "ten" with the 9 toothpicks.
To make a strong bridge foundation, toothpick or steel, you should use a triangle based design.
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).
2 rectangles. Put two toothpicks on 2 sides and one on the other side, and that uses 6 toothpicks and if you make another rectangle like that you make 2 rectangles.
Arrange the 9 toothpicks thus: 7 + 3
by tearing it
You make 3-D! Look... 6 squares in one cube and you can do that with toothpicks too!
Make a two by two grid with six toothpicks, and then place the other two toothpicks at a 45 degree angle on the corner of two of the squares.
Make it with toothpicks.
