<p>This puzzle can be found over and over again in books with matchstick puzzles. Sometimes just one solution is given, though often two solutions are presented. In fact, there are at least 8 different solutions.<br />
Those eight are AFTER discarding rotations and mirror images.<br />
Can you find them all?</p>
