Two puzzles that will make your mind reel and your soul cry.

Revision3 Summary

Puzzle The First: Starting from 100, get CAT by moving only two matchsticks. This one is tricky until you think upside down. then the 1 becomes a T, leaving one 0 a C. Slide up the bottom (top?) of the other 0, and you have an upside down CAT. This also works sideways...

Puzzle The Second: Split a very unsymmetrical shape into two equal halves using one continuous (though not necessarily straight) line. This one broke Brian's soul, so you'll have to watch the video for the oh-so-simple answer.
