Here is a new little puzzle with matches. It will be seen in the
illustration that thirteen matches, representing a farmer's hurdles,
have been so placed that they enclose six sheep-pens all of the same
size. Now, one of these hurdles was stolen, and the farmer wanted still
to enclose six pens of equal size with the remaining twelve. How was he
to do it? All the twelve matches must be fairly used, and there must be
no duplicated matches or loose ends.
