Nine From Eleven

So a man is in a kitchen with 11 toothpicks. With some careful arranging, he now has nine! How is this possible?














Hint: The toothpicks are all still there, he didn't throw them away or anything like that.

  1. I believe he spells "NINE": Three toothpicks for each "N", one for the "I", and four for the "E" make eleven toothpicks.

  2. He could arrange them 2 ways depending on the case of the word.
