Entertainment - puzzle.

       Too short bridge?

 Hello people!

 I (Golden Cat) to present to you a new and entertaining puzzles
from the book "Fun & Games:

             -=- M O S T I K -=

   Cut a piece of cardboard four identical strips
at 1 cm and a length of 8 cm

   Put on the table two intertwined books away
9 cm from one another.

   Try to make four strips of cardboard a "bridge" that could 
throw from one book to another. Solve the problem, not a cut 
not bowing its stripes and no stapling them together except 
their own. 

                 -=***=

   Here are two puzzles from books by Martin Gardner's "Journey
in time "(Moscow, Mir, 1990):
