The Cherry in the Glass
Four matches, one cherry, two moves. The glass must survive — the cherry must get out.
by MindYourPuzzle
Four matchsticks form a glass: two upright sticks as the sides, one horizontal stick as the base of the bowl, and one stick below as the stem. A cherry sits inside the glass.
Move exactly 2 matchsticks so the cherry ends up outside an identical glass.
The cherry itself must not move. Describe your two moves.
