MATCHSTICK PUZZLERS
                 ---------------------

  
    While these two puzzles are not particularly magic, you 
    will find that you can have some fun with them. Also, 
    they are very easy to do close up, sat at a table with 
    your friends.

    Ask an adult, if necessary, for nineteen matches. Then 
    arrange four of them as shown in the diagram no 1.

 1: First of all ask your friend/s to try and move one match 
    only, from the first puzzle and make a square.

    A very difficult teaser if they do not already know it.

 2: For puzzle two, set the other fourteen matches as in 
    the Diagram no 2 and tell your friend/s that the matches 
    represent a church.
 
    Each sunday a little girl goes to this church without 
    fail for Sunday service.
 
    Ask them to move five of the matches and tell you the 
    little girl's name and how old she is.

    Click Diagram button for the diagram and then click on
    the diagram itself to reveal answer. Then on the 
    diagram itself again, to return to text.

                       REMEMBER!
 
             Playing with matches can cause
              fires which can easily kill!
                Please be careful or use
                   spent/dud matches.
