How to solve Puzzle 009?
For puzzle 009, you need to change the appearance of a matchstick dog to look as though it has just been hit by a car, by only moving 2 matches.
The matches below are arranged in the shape of a dog. This poor little doggy was just minding his own business when a car came barreling down the road and ran him over.
Move two matches to change the picture so that it shows the dog after the accident.
All puzzles are a matter of perspective, so don’t assume that you’ll be looking at the dog from the side by the time you’re finished with this one.
The puzzle description already gives you a substantial ‘leg’ up. It’s important to consider the different viewpoints that you can portray with the match sticks.
Especially those that can be made by moving only two matches.
What are the hints for Puzzle 009?
Hint 1
The original shape shows the dog walking.
Think about how that shape will change after the dog gets hit by the car.
Hint 2
Dogs walk on all four legs, but since this poor pooch isn’t doing much walking anymore, the position of his legs must have changed.
Hint 3
The dog is probably sprawled out on the road where it got hit. To show this, you’ll need to move two of his legs, or two matches.
Take the two legs in the middle and bring them above.
Puzzle 009 Answer
You need to change the point of view of the dog from a side-on portrait to a top-down aerial view, with the two inner legs now above the dog – making an elongated X shape.
Ultimately, there isn’t much that changing two matches can achieve, especially not a downed dog. Once you know to look at things from a different perspective, like the puzzle suggests, the answer should fall into place for you fairly quickly.
