Mayankji... See how I moved those three toothpicks ...
See my Second post with diagram...
3 squares can be made by moving only 2 toothpicks.... remove the 2 from the 1st row and place it on the ends of 2nd row..
Dear Archana,
If you have removed only 2 toothpicks, how come you create a square??
@ Mayank: It is a right question. Only the answer needs to be right!!
