The Solution to the 6 Matchsticks Riddle

🔺 The Solution to the 6 Matchsticks Riddle

You tried the challenge: “Arrange 6 matchsticks to make a pyramid.”
At first glance, it seems impossible — on a flat surface, you just can’t make a pyramid.
And that’s exactly the trick: you have to think in 3D!

🎯 The solution:
Arrange the 6 matchsticks to create a triangular pyramid (a tetrahedron) — a three-dimensional figure made of 4 triangular faces, each formed by 3 edges.

It’s a simple riddle that trains spatial imagination and lateral thinking, two key skills not only for games but for problem-solving in everyday life.
