A man had twelve toothpicks in front of him. He took one away. Now he had nine in front of him. How is this possible?

He had a six-pronged toothpick? He cheated? You lied to us? Trick question? :lol:

The first one is my only serious answer, although I suck at riddles.

6-prongs would count as 3, since one toothpick has 2 prongs. :wink:
