The challenge is to move only 2 sticks to make a correct equation.
I admit, this puzzle fooled me!
You’re only allowed to move 2 sticks to make a correct equation.
You may also have to change your perspective to solve this one
Think!
So here’s the answer:
First, we’ll make the 4 into a 11 by moving this stick.
Now, you might say, “8 = 11 – 61 is NOT the correct equation! “
But, to get the correct equation, you have to change your perspective.
Look at this equation upside down.
To illustrate this,
I’m going to rotate the entire diagram
So you can see what it would look like upside down.
You then get the equation,
19 – 11 = 8
and that’s the correct answer!
So the next time you’re stuck on a problem, take a step back, and consider changing your perspective.
It might make all the difference!
