You need 8 toothpicks to spell the word HAT by using one toothpick for each letter and five toothpicks to form the 'A' by overlapping two toothpicks for each leg.
Just one if you break it into small enough pieces. (see related question)
The straightforward answer would appear to be eight, using separate toothpicks to form each letter.(Use 3 in the F, 3 in the A, and 2 in the T.)However, if you can use the same toothpicks for all three letters at the same time, you only need three. (see related link)Using 3 ToothpicksBy overlapping the three toothpicks at the proper angles, you can simultaneously form an F, an A, and a T. Place the toothpicks atop each other to form a small triangle in the middle. You will see the letters F, A, and T within the angles formed. The horizontals of the F are, however, oddly splayed and not parallel.(see related link)
The weight of an individual toothpick varies depending on its material, size, and design. On average, a single toothpick usually weighs around 0.6 to 1.2 grams. To weigh 10 grams, you would typically need around 8 to 17 individual toothpicks.
8 is it really that hard?F A T3 3 2
Two toothpicks are used to avoid cross contamination.
The answer is 8 if no toothpicks can cross and each letter is separate: 3 make the F, 3 the A, 2 the T. It could be 5 if the letters are combined together as a single shape (like a block A, with a possible 5th toothpick from the center down). This is a variation of the standard riddle, which usually just excludes breaking and bending. (see related question)
A gumdrop tree is an economical and fun craft for anyone to make. One would need gumdrops, toothpicks and a styrofoam cone. All items can be found at a dollar store or craft store such as Michaels. Toothpicks are cut and inserted in the candy and placed thru the cone.
