Math POW Solution

Look at the above solution.  Is it the same as your response?  If it is different explain how it is different?  Do you think your answer is still correct even though it is different?  Which answer do you think is better? Explain why. Post your response.  (Remember to explain yourself clearly.)

David's Response -
Only answer a) is the same as my answer, b) and c) are not the same as mine.

On a) I had 2 adjacent squares and I only used 7 toothpicks. On b) I did not think of overlapping the squares to make 3 squares, Instead I just made two toothpicks double the size of the other three toothpicks like so, 2 lines are twice the size as so:

On c) I made three toothpicks double the size of the other 5 toothpicks to make 8 squares like so:
