Dimwitted
Can anyone else do the matchstick puzzles? I've been looking at it for months and I still can't even do the first one.
Maybe I'm not even square enough to make squares

It took about 20 goes, but I can do all except the bastard last one.
Have a go at memory and you can work up to about 60% but you'd have to be psychic to do more than that. |

Aha!
Having spent so long being utterly thick, I have now done them all in about 5 minutes. Once you've done the first, the others all follow the same pattern, except the last. Bit of linear (rather than lateral) thinking needed for the last one I think.

I can only manage the first one! And that took me a while!
