Watch the Master finally get beat at his own game!
Back to basics with this episode: another tough match puzzle *almost* guaranteed to win you a drink. Remember: Tricks get you attention, but selling the answers to puzzles gets you drinks.
The rules are simple: using 6 matchsticks, create 4 equilateral triangles. All 4 triangles have to be the same size, and the sides of each triangle have to be one matchstick long.
It sounds impossible, and 99% of the time the mark will just give up. Try to work out the puzzle along with the folks in the episode to see how tough it really is!

"I came up with a different solution.
Lay 4 matches on the table in a square.
Make an X in the middle of the square with the remaining two matches.
Each match in the X divides the square into 2 equilateral triangles that meet the requirements."
Those are isosceles triangles. If you're bisecting a square diagonally, you're creating two 45-45-90 right triangles, which means the hypotenuse is longer than the other two sides.
...
Good God, why do I know that?
