Another 0-toothpick-move answer is to place a match across the ‘minus’ toothpick at right angles to form a +. Is that cheating?
5. How was Poll different from his 9 “siblings”? (For extra credit, name them)
Rhetorical question: Is this related to that “10 little indians” kid’s rhyme (or song or whatever it is).
15. What were the 4 original model numbers of IBM’s PS/2?
I don’t think I’m remembering what a PS/2 is, exactly, but I guess IBM PC, PC-XT, PC-AT, and…uh…PC Jr?
20. According to the rules of Hearts used at the national championships held in Las Vegas in 1999, to what score is a game played?
Probably 26, because I always played to 25 (queen is worth 12 in my world) and I’m usually wrong on card game rules.

Heck, I like that answer and I’d consider it a “zero toothpick” move. Your solution at least deserves recognition as a “one toothpick” move.
DutchBoy is right about numbers 32 and 35, and also (incompletely) 37. And peasea is right about 36.
However, Ellis Dee is wrong about numbers 15 and 20. And no, number 5 has nothing to do with the 10 little indians.
Anyhow, this thread seems to have died, so I’ll start a new thread for numbers 41 to 50…
