THE TRIANGLE PUZZLE.
(Sent in by Molly Cnrtin, 24, Church Street, Ponsonby, age 11.) Try this interesting puzzle, boys and girls. It is really quite simple, although at first glance it may not seem so. Arrange 10 matches on the table, as shown in the first diagram. Now ask a friend to take away four matches in
such a manner as to leave four triangles. The second sketch will show how tliis can be done.
