Technically you'd have to move both sticks or the - sign would be too high or low based on the placements in the video

In the problem 6 -9 = 3 I have an alternate solution. Move the top horizontal line of the equals sign and place it above the minus sign between the 6 and 9 so that it reads 6=9-3

Failed the last one !……thanks for sharing !

In the second equation (6-9=3), if you remove a stick at the 9, so that it becomes a 3, and add the remaining stick at a position where there is already a stick, so that 2 sticks overlap perfectly, you get the following equation (6-3=3)

You can also move the bottom left match on L.. diagram & put it in front of the answer 8 making it 18 or 9+9=18

A no-brainer really. Any such puzzle with a plus and equal sign can be fixed by moving one stick from the plus to the equal sign (except when it's a zero after the plus).

@RedFloyd469

Ай бұрын

This is clearly false, and also illegal according to the rules stipulated in the first few seconds. Let's say it IS legal though. 5+3=2. Clearly false. Move one matchstick from the plus sign to create a minus, move it to the = sign to make a =/=. Formula becomes: "5-3=/=2" A false statement. Furthermore, stating that a zero after the plus is an exception to your rule is also false. example: 9+0=5 Moving a matchstick from the plus to the equal sign makes "9-0=/=5", which would be a correct statement. Meaning zeroes are no exception. It's all irrelevant though, as the premise clearly states =/= is an illegal sign to make.

6 = 9 - 3

Nr 4…8-6=2

In the problem 6 -9 = 3 I also have an alternate solution. Move the upper left vertical line of the 9 and place it above the middle horizontal line of the 9 to produce a 3, leaving 6 - 3 = 3.

8-5 = 3

1. Solution: 8+0=8 or 0+8=8

1. 0+8 = 8+0 = 8

9 + 7 = 4 => -3 + 7 = 4

Alternate answer for #2: Nothing in the rules say you can’t remove a stick, so remove the upper left stick from the #9 to change it into a 3. Then it’s 6-3=3

@Choqtaw

@robabramovitz5192 Unless you understand English period. The challenge is to move one matchstick within the equation. Not remove.

On problem 2 you can also remove one from the nine to make a 3 and put it on the other side as a minus sign.

Puzzle #4...make a 6 out of the 5...alternative solution...

It’s a trick puzzle, should say, move one stick to another number, after the 2nd one I figured it was possible to move the one stick around to form the answer b

Last one, I moved the + to × , took the upper part of the 7 and turned it into 1, turned the 4 into 9, then 9 × 1 = 9.

Lol, I didn't get any of those right.

The equals sign is also made of matches and yet none of these solutions include moving one of those to make a > or < sign which would be true no matter what numbers were on either side of the equation. 😂

for #2, move the stick from the 9 to above the equal sign to make a triple equal sign. 6 - 9 = 3 ---> 6 - 3 = 3. if I want to define 6-3 as equivalent to 3 then that's my choice which technically isn’t wrong. [mic drop]

#2 6 = 9 - 3

Move the top stick on the 7, and put it across the equals. 9+1 != 4

I just changed = to ≠ everytime.

I got all of them except for the last 5. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

In the first one you can get the same effect by removing the middle bar of the first eight to make it a zero, and then using that bar to turn the nine into an eight. ie 0+8=8

Other option is to move the top of the 7 over to the 4 making it a 9 and rotate the middle sign to now say: 9 * 1 = 9.... This one wouldn't pass the normal test, but since the author is making silly rules, I'm guessing the author has already lost their game. 😮

8+1=9

-3+7=4 Make 9 a 3. Use stick to make -9.

It might be cheating, but the first one can be modified to read 9+9=18. The "1" is only one matchstick tall, which may or may not be allowed.

-3+7=4

Alternate Solution for #2 Move one of the matchsticks from the equal sign to the minus sign thereby switching the equals and the minus 6-9=3 ==> 6=9-3

Okay so technically speaking you never said where we had to move one of the sticks to. Technically based off move one stick to fix the equation, we could just move one of the sticks off the board entirely. Since that's the case because you didn't properly define the rules, The second equation has two answers of course. It has the instance in which You remove the top right vertical stick of the nine adding it to the top right vertical empty spot the six turning it into 8 - 5 = 3. But, I could also remove the top left vertical stick of the nine and throw it off the board entirely and then turn it into 6-3=3. Again you said move the stick to fix the equation. You didn't say that I had to reuse that stick.
