A question about match

mattchiI am sure to say that the sculptor is curving from sculptor's life instead of material for makeing the sculpture. I don't want to say such a strict talking here, we shuld make a head more flexible.

The right drawing is a right-angled triangle with 12 matches. If it assumes that the length of one match is 1, this area of a triangle is 6. So you should make the area is 2 to muve some matches. It must be one form. It meens that you should make 1/3 of one form area from this triangle.

I asked this question many people. Only one person whose name is Mr. Fujie found the right answer. But this is not difficult question, only we need flexible head.
