Puzzle No. 009
Picarats: 35

The matches below are arranged in the shape of a dog. This poor little buy was just minding his own business when a car came barreling down the road and ran him over.

Move two matches to change the picture so that it shows the dog after the accident.

All puzzles are a matter of perspective, so don't assume that you'll be looking at the dog from the side by the time you're finished with this one.














Hint One; The original shape shows the dog walking. Think about how that shape will change after the dog gets hit by the car.

Hint Two: Dogs walk on all four legs, but since this poor pooch isn't doing much walking anymore, the position of his lefs must have changed.

Hint Three: The dog is probably sprawled out on the pavement where it got hit. To show this, you'll need to move two of his legs, of two matches. Take the two legs in the middle and bring above.

Solution:













The car flattened the poor dog! Let this be a lesson to be aware of your surroundings when driving!
