This Matchstick Puzzle Is "Extremely Hard" For Adults

This classic matchstick/toothpick puzzle is making the rounds because it is supposedly "extremely hard" for adults. Can you make 3 squares by moving 3 matchsticks? You cannot break any of the sticks, the resulting squares must be of equal size, and each toothpick has to be part of a square (and no other tricks are allowed either!) Can you figure it out? Watch the video for a solution.
