BUSTED! 6 Matches and 4 Triangles puzzle
Thursday, July 17th, 2008 – running time 06:48
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 suppose I can't be a judge of how people can/can't solve the puzzles. I have seen these puzzles before so it is a tad hard not to go come on it is so simple!

It's really not that obvious when you present the matches flat on the table. If you simply told them you can stand the matches up then it's easy. Of course, after you see how it's done, it's all easy :P

I picked it after a minute or so just jotting down shapes with a pencil and paper (before I saw the answer of course :p), *posted something that I just realised wasn't even true, but the point is I solved the thing and it's time to go to bed*. Its also 5:20am so its kind of like I'm drunk... (Not really, I'm feeling a lot less violent and horny than when I'm drunk)

Before Brian was even done explaining it I had it figured out (less than 30 seconds). That's about the only puzzle I'm good at though...
