Problem of the Week

for Monday, September 21, 2009

Ted wants to make triangles out of toothpicks and marshmallows. He has a whole box of (identical) toothpicks, but only four marshmallows. He quickly found a way to make two triangles. Can you find a way to make more? (Remember: the toothpicks are all the same length!)

Solution to the four marshmallow problem
