Through the challenges we managed to stimulate our brain to stay active and think clearly. For this reason, logic puzzles, optical illusions and other pastimes involving the mind have become so common. They bring real benefits and can even help assess how our brain is doing.
That's why today we bring this logic challenge of the matchsticks, where you will need to relocate them to get more squares. Try to do it in the proposed time and test your mind!

check out the challenge
In this challenge, we found a geometric structure made from matchsticks. Altogether, these sticks will be responsible for building seven exact squares that are distributed between their sides and the center of the image.
However, the challenge here is to relocate the matchsticks to form a new set of squares. But not in any way, as it will be necessary to increase the number of squares from seven to nine. Additionally, the player will only be able to move four of the matchsticks that are already in the image instead of creating new ones. All of this, of course, without forgetting about time, as you have to solve this entire riddle in just thirty seconds. Can you make it? Give it a try and then check out the secret below!
How to solve the challenge
For many people it is very difficult to solve this logic challenge, but there is a practical and simple solution to this problem. However, if you couldn't solve it, don't worry, because we'll explain how the magic will happen!
In this case, the most obvious resolution suggestion is to undo the two squares on each side, that is, the upper left and upper right. So, by taking the two outer sticks out of these squares, the next step will be to relocate them in the central part of the structure.
In this way, we managed to turn a large square into four smaller squares. Now, just count how many squares are left to realize that we have fulfilled the challenge.
Furthermore, also note that it would be possible to carry out the same procedure, but removing the toothpicks from the outside of the lower squares on the left and right side. Although this is not an easy challenge, we cannot deny that it is great for testing our perception and logical reasoning!
