This is a popular riddle that should be illustrated for explanation.
(see the related link and question)
The answers are :
- It takes 8 if you don't break any, or bend any, and use separate toothpicks to form each letter. (There are 3 in the F, 3 in the A, and 2 in the T.)
- Only 1 if you break it into pieces. You can also bend it into four equal lengths, then cross the lengths into a star shape as below.
- Only 3 if you can use the same toothpicks for all three letters. By 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.
- It depends on how big you want to make it.
