Move 1 matchstick to make a square.
You can't 'move one matchstich out of the box', bend or break any of the matches there or use the box to complete the square.
There are at least two solutions.

Peter Morris:
Here are two:
36 35 34 33 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2
1. Move the right-hand matchstick down and to the left without rotating, so it intersects the center one and makes an open-topped 4.
2. Rotate the center matchstick to a diagonal position, making 1 / 1.

NEARLY THERE
hehehhe Nice one
The answer is '4' (in a different font)
You should move the right-most vertical match til it crosses the horizontal match.
eg |_ _becomes |_|_ |

Place the right-end matchstick on top of the middle (horizontal)stick.
The resultant is an image of the number 4, which is a square.
Cheers!
