What you need to do is move one stick to make a line.

Creator Leonardo says it’s “the hardest challenge u ever seen in your life”.

And the person he gets to try it out struggles to figure the challenge out after two minutes of shifting sticks about.

The solution turns out to be very sneaky indeed.

Ensure all three form a triangle shape first of all.

Then push the bottom one up, so that it causes the other two to slide into a straight line.

You can then pick it up and place it on top, forming a straight line.

But reading the comments, not everyone is happy about the wording of the puzzle.
