Goood Morning Riddle Masters!

We hope you have been enjoying a lovely Easter, but now regardless of Easter it wouldn't be a Monday at the SDC without our first riddle of the week, now would it? So here it goes...

Professor Puzla says "My expensive laboratory staff have perfected a way of arranging seven matches on a table so that they make 20 and one-third of a dozen. Of course, they neither break nor bend the matches." How is this possible?
