To get four squares out of sixteen matches, they need to be seperated, no match forming more than one side of any square, and there's no way to do that by moving only two matches.<br /><br />(PS, I'm kidding, it probably is possible, I'm just very frustrated...:p)Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15627738595302214154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32546160.post-62820819381923502552008-09-05T14:14:00.000+10:002008-09-05T14:14:00.000+10:00Well, now you can see some difference between the ...Well, now you can see some difference between the way astrophysicists and engineers view the world....
