National Puzzle Day

January 29th is National Puzzle Day!
When we work on a jigsaw puzzle, we use both sides of the brain, and spending time daily working on puzzles improves memory, cognitive function and problem-solving skills. Challenge your problem solving skills with the library puzzle! The puzzle will be in the library all week…

Challenge yourself with this game of MatchSticks!
The rules of Matchsticks seem very easy, but the puzzles can be much more complicated than you have thought! Your goal in this game is to take away a required number of matches so as to form the required quantity of squares. When the game starts, 9 small squares will be formed by multiple matchsticks, and your current question will be displayed at the lower left corner. Click to remove the required number of matches to form the specific quantity of squares stated in the question. Note that all overlapping squares will also be counted, and each piece of matchstick must be a part of a square. When the current puzzle is completed, the result will be displayed at the top left corner. A timer is located under the scoreboard and it will record the time you have spent. Think before you act as the matches cannot be put back once they are removed!
