One common solution involves taking the vertical stick from the center and placing it to the right of the rightmost column, and taking the horizontal stick from the center and placing it above the top row, and taking the remaining central stick and placing it to form a new square.)

Ø  Question: Look at the flame. Touch the red star with the tip of your nose, and look at the candle. And lo! It starts burning!

When you focus on the red star with your nose touching it, and then shift your gaze to the candle, the flame might appear to "jump" or "start burning" due to how your eyes and brain process the visual information and depth perception. It's not actually burning, but an illusion.
