What is the minimum number of toothpicks necessary to spell the word ‘THAT’. (You are not allowed to break or bend any toothpicks)?
- 14
- 12
- 10
- None of these
Explanation
Let's count the minimum number of straight toothpicks needed to spell "THAT", assuming only straight lines and no bending or breaking:
1. T
One vertical
One horizontal (on top)
= 2 toothpicks
2. H
Two verticals
One horizontal (middle)
= 3 toothpicks
3. A
Two slants (legs)
One horizontal (middle)
= 3 toothpicks
4. T (again)
Same as before = 2 toothpicks
Total:
2 (T) + 3 (H) + 3 (A) + 2 (T) = 10 toothpicks
