  one common problem with these kinds of puzzles is that about half of them are great fun, easily worth the time trying to solve,  while the other half is some annoying trick question or requires overly complicated mathematics, that they are absolutely just wasted effort...

  Square with 3 lines: bend the paper into a tube. Draw two lines around, connect those two circumferential lines with a vertical line. The vertical line acts as two sides to the square in a non-planar field.

  I guess we won't agree on what a "single cut" is, because what I see is two cuts.

  If the “cut” in Puzzle 1 is just 1 cut, even though it changes direction, then in Puzzle 7, you can draw any geometric square with just ONE line, by having that line change direction three times.

  You can write 4 with 3 lines, which is a square of 2

  For puzzle 2, I think it can be much simpler to solve this one if you just consider that walking at four miles an hour means you go one mile in 15 minutes. &nbsp;if you walk up hill at three miles per hour, thats one mile in 20 minutes, and if you walk down hill at six miles an hour, thats one mile in 10 minutes. &nbsp;So since its the same path, each mile walked twice, meaning once walked in each direction, takes 30 minutes, regardless of whether it was flat or sloped. &nbsp;Therefore in six hours, you will have walked a twelve mile path, twice.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44KdIPVropw&amp;t=490">8:10</a> there is a convoluted solution. This uses a &quot;Who Wants to be a Millionaire&quot; style question frame and in that show, you have lifelines. If you used the Fifty:Fifty lifeline to remove two wrong answers, then C would become the correct answer, as there&apos;s only a 50% chance to get it.

  For the second part of 4, you can just reflect the non-diagonal matchsticks across the diagonal. &nbsp;The shape is chiral, so it&apos;s mirror <b>isn&apos;t</b> the same shape.

  Solution to Puzzle 6 is overcomplicated: just extend the line that has 40° degree to the other parallel, now you have a rectangle with the following angles: 40°, 160°, 100° and x which add up to 360° Solved.<br>(If you don&apos;t get it: 40°is due to the parallel lines, 160°is due to adjacent angle 20°, 100°is due to adjacent angle 80°)

  A solution to puzzle 7 could be to draw &quot;IX&quot;, which is 9 in roman numerals and 9 is a square, as shown in the video.
