OMG, Weezie, I just about broke my head open! Took like half an hour to get the first one, then the rest came easy, till the last. And then I got mad, cause I did what he said, and didn't get credit!

Would you mind sharing the solution to the first puzzle? I haven't been able to figure it out. Maybe I'm having a Cindy sort of day....needing someone to poke some holes in the top of MY jar!
And it's only Monday!

Okay, let's see: Top row of matches, horizontal, take the middle one. Move to 4th row, verticals, 4th space. (immediately to right of last vertical match) Now, bottom row of matches, horizontals, take the rightmost one, and move it to the right one space. Now you should have 4 even boxes.

You got the last one??? Can you tell me what you did? Cause when I did it, I think I had it right, there were NO equal boxes anywhere, but it didn't say that was the right solution.

Hi Geegee,
I also didn't get confirmation of success on the last puzzle but I had no squares left. As I can't figure out how to get a snapshot of the results to post, I'll try to describe what the configuration looks like after I remove 9 sticks:
In the far left column I removed the 2nd and 4th horizontal sticks so that 2 rectangles are remaining stacked above each other. The next column remove the 1st, 3rd and 5th horizontal sticks so that there remains 1 rectangle. The next 2 columns, repeat what you did in the first column, leaving 2 rectangles in each column.

Well, I'm glad to hear that we both didn't get confirmations! I know that what i did is radically different from what you did, so I'm thinking there must be multiple answers to that one.

These are fun and could keep me busy for quite a while. I found that it didn't tell me I was right for any of them even when I was sure I was cause some of them are pretty clear when you get them its obvious
