What was the challenge? 

All that you need to do is that remove these 2 match sticks labelled in figure below.


These 2 should be removed to make 2 from 5!

So we get exactly 2 squares as below.

Made 2 squares from 5 squares!

Matches To Match Number


What was the challenge? 

It's pretty simple one. Nowhere it is mentioned that you have to make it as 

10 & not allowed to make TEN. So three sticks from first, one from second & 

2 from third gives us TEN.

However, we can make it as 10 as well. Removing 1 stick from first, 4 from 

second & 1 from third produces 10.
