  • SquareOak, on 12/13/2007, -0/+34Yeah but lighting the matches ruins the construction. Next!
  • MikeonTV, on 12/13/2007, -0/+20I can finally get that promotion I have always wanted!
  • givinupthefight, on 12/13/2007, -1/+16"without ruining the construction"
    IMO, burning the construction to ***** counts as ruining it. Still a cool trick though.
  • deceth, on 12/13/2007, -0/+10My matchbox full of matches caught fire, which causes a small flame burst which then burned a small hole in my sofa :(

    Do this experiment on a solid table, not a sofa :(
  • maxyRO, on 12/13/2007, -1/+11another trick we will never really use
  • loneswish, on 12/13/2007, -0/+7My Lunchable didn't give me enough crackers to complete my final sandwich
  • Shawn4168, on 12/13/2007, -0/+6Not sure if you're telling the truth or not, but I'll digg you out of sympathy.
  • bman85, on 12/13/2007, -1/+7Pretty predictable, but still cool.
  • mechagazoo15, on 12/13/2007, -0/+5I like the second solution better than the first, but I can't tell you why.
  • thecardmechanic, on 12/13/2007, -3/+7The description on MetaCafe... "Amazing..."
    Amazing? No. Cool? Yes.
  • shox85, on 12/13/2007, -1/+5It's a cool trick, but not amazing :p
    If you ask anyone with an average intelligence to remove that coin without touching the matches, the first thing that person will do is light them.. :p
  • Axeman2063, on 12/13/2007, -0/+4i find it difficult to believe that the matches would burn the exact same amount and remain in the same position every time. If you want money that badly get a job. Or better yet, rob a bank.
  • compgeek, on 12/13/2007, -1/+4second solution looked a lot more interesting still neat trick and satisfies the bet YOU don't touch the matches
  • gregdigg, on 12/13/2007, -0/+3Your smiley privileges have just been revoked.
  • tonicboy, on 12/13/2007, -0/+3what? not even close to cool. i want my money back. oh yeah, right. you get what you pay for.
  • WhoDoneIt, on 12/13/2007, -0/+3This will come in handy if I'm ever faced with this predicament. :rolls eyes:
  • TjLAXattack, on 12/13/2007, -0/+3not everybody can solve the prediction
  • bluenash, on 12/14/2007, -0/+2ooh! that's tricky
  • anarchytv, on 12/13/2007, -0/+2This is so going to get me laid with other coins...
  • ellabee, on 12/13/2007, -0/+2Solution #3: Just go out and have a beer.
  • donmanguno, on 12/13/2007, -0/+2you must not deal with many people of truly average intelligence. i envy you
  • flightlasvegas, on 12/13/2007, -0/+2Amazing
  • inactive, on 12/13/2007, -3/+5Can we stop putting silly trick videos on Digg?
  • csapdani, on 12/14/2007, -0/+2youtube link plz
  • itsripitsrip, on 12/14/2007, -0/+2where is the fabled "top ten worst tricks of the year" headline on digg.
    i mean it's not like digg is lacking in the "top ten list" dept.
  • deceth, on 11/25/2008, -0/+2thx
  • chaos7, on 12/14/2007, -0/+2not amazing
  • BigKeg, on 12/13/2007, -0/+2That ticks "construction" makes it pretty obvious how to solve it.
  • jupaneanu, on 12/13/2007, -0/+2I thought this was pretty cool
  • everslim101, on 12/13/2007, -0/+2Umm... Solution #2 ruins the construction.
  • inajeep, on 12/13/2007, -1/+2Special effects such as super glue or a nose nugget used to keep the first match rigid. Couldn't do it without that. Cheaters.
  • lolo2007, on 02/03/2008, -0/+1second solution looked a lot more interesting still neat trick and satisfies the bet YOU don't touch the matches

  • mezon, on 12/13/2007, -2/+3My favorite is the second solution :)

  • mezon, on 12/13/2007, -2/+2not everybody can predict the solution
