Riddle #4 actually has three solutions. If you move the match going vertical from the plus sign and move it to the 6 to change it into an 8, then the problem will read as such: 8-4=4.
In fact there are four solutions. You can also move the vertical match from the plus sign and place it diagonally over the "equal" sign, so changing into a "not equal" sign. The resulting equation is 6-4 ≠ 4 ;-)
On question number 4 there are 3 answers: you can move the match stick on the plus symbol to make 8= 8-4=4. We are enjoying video but please be more accurate next time
for question 4 there is another solution as well which is 8-4=4 so you move a matchstick from the plus to make it a minus and put that on the gap of the 6 to make it 8

In addition to Nick Zoa disagreement on #6. When thinking on riddles wording is very specific. There was only the mention of the soda being weighed. I saw an animation of bottled soda so I naturally assumed the bottles weighed something too so therefore the soda weighs more. Right? Wrong I guess! Lol might be deconstructing too much but it was a riddle after all.
Question #6 has an incorrect answer. Gold is measured in the TROY measurement system in which there are 12 ounces in a pound. Therefore, 16 ounces of soda weigh more than a pound of gold.
If you are going to assume that the gold is in TROY ounces, then you must assume the soda would be in FLUID ounces. And since we don't know which cola it is, the density may be such that 16 FLUID ounces of it could weigh 12 TROY ounces.
You've made a good point and you're partly right. Fluid ounces are used to measure volume, not weight. Although 16 fluid ounces of water weighs 16 ounces, it's possible for 16 fluid ounces of a different liquid to weigh less. For example, 16 fluid ounces of pure alcohol (ethanol) weighs 12.6 ounces. 16 fluid ounces of some grades of gasoline weigh about 12 ounces. However, we're talking about soda here, which is mostly water. So, 16 *fluid* ounces of soda would weigh more than 12 *Troy* ounces of gold.
Can you help me with this one: You've managed to break into the vault of a bank filled with 20 sacks of coins. One of the sacks contains gold coins, while the other 19 are filled with counterfeit gold coins. You cannot tell the difference between the gold coins and the fakes by handling the coins, looking at them, biting them, or testing them. The fake coins weigh exactly 1 ounce each, while the real gold coins weigh 1.01 ounces. There is a large scale with enough room for all the sacks in the vault, but as soon as you weigh something it will trigger an alarm, so you can use the scale just once before you must flee the vault. How can you figure out which sack of coins contains the real gold by only weighing something on the scale once? Note: The scale tells you the exact weight of whatever you put on it, it is not a balance scale. Hint: You might want to consider labelling the sacks. And remember, you can take coins out of the sacks and weigh a combination of them.
One other puzzle used "FIBONACCI'S NUMBER" and I had to look that definition up ! I don't remember "PASCAL'S TRIANGLE" from my old high school days ! I vaguely remember that from my old high school days !
On # 4 we found a new solution You could the match stick from the plus and move it to the sixth and it would make it eight so it would make it 8-4 = 4 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 just so you know
for a lot of these just use algebra (eg. q7, just do x + x + 100= 150 bc the hoodie cost 100 more than the shoes. this is just 2x + 100= 150 which simplifies to 2x= 50 and 50 divided by 2 is 25.)
I was here because my math teacher sent me the link in Microsoft Teams becuz of Coronavirus which kids need to stay home (I am a kid as well) #StopTheCoronaVirus #StaySafe #WashYourHands
In the number 4 there's another solution which is you get the matchstick from the plus sign and make it minus then put that matchstick in the six it will make 8-4=4
#7 is weird, in the equation it says "the hoodies costs $100 than the pair of shoes" but the equation is not saying that the hoodies is more than $100 it is saying it is $100 more than the pair of shoes. It is worded very weird correct me if I'm wrong.😀
Where a is the cost of the hoodie and b = the cost of the shoes: a+b=150 a=b+100. Substituting b+100 for a in the first equations results in b+100+b=150 or 2b+100=150. Subtracting 100 from both sides results in 2b=50 and dividing both sides by 2 results in b=25. Now, back to the first equation replacing the b with 25 results in a+25=150 and now we subtract 25 from both side and the results is a = 125. But the BIG QUESTION is who would pay 125 DOLLARS for a hoodie?
Gold is measured in troy ounces (31.1g), not avdp ounces (28.3g). In the troy system, there are 12 troy ounces to a troy pound (373g). So a pound of gold (373g) weighs less than 16 ounces of soda (454g).
If you are going to consider the Gold in Troy ounces, you must consider the cola in Fluid ounces and the density of the cola was not given. Therefore we don't know the WEIGHT of the cola (much less the bottles).
3:20 I did solution 1 and another solution which is moving the plus sign stick and making it a minus sign then putting the stick at the equation sign making it like this =/= which means doesn’t equal
2:59 To those who say there is a third solution, the vertical stick in the plus sign is under the horizontal stick. So moving it inevitably moves two sticks. *insert genius black guy meme*
In the 9th question the question says that you can not use a nickel but in the answer they said the answer is a Nickel and a Quarter but the real answer is a twenty cent piece and a dime.

In R4 I DRWA STICK WHICH IS HORIZONTAL AND PLACED ON 6 HEAD AND MADE HIM 8 SO NIW EQ IS 8 -4=4
3:18 Solution 3: move the vertical line from the plus and put it at the 6, so it will be 8-4=4.
solution 4: move the vertical line from te plut and lay it diagonally over the = sign
I did the same thing
@@hajowennekes9799 True, but not valid lol
@@JosiahFickinger his solution is ABSOLUTELY valid...
6-4 DOES NOT EQUAL 4
The diagonal line over the equal sign is Not Equal.
@@LaxerFL I know. But that'd be true for almost anything. I feel like it kind of defeats the problem 😉
Hello
in math riddle 4 there is another solution :
remove the matchstick of plus and it will be:8-4=4
I was thinking the same thing!!!
ya I did it in school it has three solutions and your right
Yes I got that too
that was my only answer

Same here
Yes I thought of it for my first answer then I did 5+4=9 like that was my first answer so am I smarter than the person who made it🤔😺
same i am thinking the same thing
Mrs. Mitchell's 5th Grade Class thinks the numbers are 1, 5, 10, 10,5, 1. Thanks for sharing your video!
I also think that!
You are right! I thinked about that too!! 😂
Ok
She’s right
On question number 4 there are 3 answers: you can move the match stick on the plus symbol to make 8= 8-4=4. We are enjoying video but please be more accurate next time
I also found that solution
Yes
3:17 there is another answer you can remove a verticle matchstick from + and move it to 6's upright gap
I.e,8-4=4
for question 4 there is another solution as well which is 8-4=4 so you move a matchstick from the plus to make it a minus and put that on the gap of the 6 to make it 8
thanks yo
ya I was confused as well because I did that in school and there were three solutions
I was going to say that but yeah wow
These really aren't that hard, I got 8/10 for the normal ones.

Question #6 has an incorrect answer. Gold is measured in the TROY measurement system in which there are 12 ounces in a pound. Therefore, 16 ounces of soda weigh more than a pound of gold.
Yes
Please look at the balance again. 3 soda for 3 gold makes the scale balanced.
If you are going to assume that the gold is in TROY ounces, then you must assume the soda would be in FLUID ounces. And since we don't know which cola it is, the density may be such that 16 FLUID ounces of it could weigh 12 TROY ounces.
You've made a good point and you're partly right. Fluid ounces are used to measure volume, not weight.

The answer to the bonus question is 1,5,10,10,5 and 1
I got everything except what to put between 7 and 8 so easy man.
Also you could move the vertical line from the plus to the equal sign so it would be 6 - 4 ≠ 4.

#7 let hoodie y and shoes x
x+y=150
x=150-y equation 1
Now ATQ
x+100=y
From equation 1 150-y+100=y
2y=250
y=125
x=150-125=25
Is the riddles same with non routine problems?
161051 is the answer of the bonus question 👍👍👍👍
for a lot of these just use algebra (eg. q7, just do x + x + 100= 150 bc the hoodie cost 100 more than the shoes. this is just 2x + 100= 150 which simplifies to 2x= 50 and 50 divided by 2 is 25.)
Thank you for clarifying the solution .
Hello! We found another solution to #4 at The Beachmont School in Revere. You can move a matchstick from the + sign to make it 8 - 4 = 4 :)
8-4=4
0-4=4
5+4=9
in ridlle number 4 this can also possible that moving 1 stick from + to the blank space of 6 will make this equation = 8-4=4
U KILLED MY BRAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
for question 4 I found another answer 8-4=4 you move the matches form the plus symbol and move it to the six.
Answer to BONUS ques: 1, 5, 10, 10, 5, 1
nice riddles
8:22 the Strawberry and apple are covering 1, the coconut and orange cover 5 the pear and the water melon cover 10
There is a third solution. It is taking away one of the lines from the plus and make the six eight and then it would work
pascal triangle, so 1 5 10 10 5 1=32
There is 3rd solution in Riddle 4. 👇
If we move one stick from plus sign to make it minus and put it on 6 to make 8. The equation will be 👇
8 - 4 = 4
Move the vertical +match stick with the 6

I'm also a kid. I found this before my teacher in virtual classes.
In the number 4 there's another solution which is you get the matchstick from the plus sign and make it minus then put that matchstick in the six it will make 8-4=4
for the bonus it's 1 5 10 10 5 1
also I got 8/10
For me #1 was shoking. There are 14 squares in 9 squares. WOW!!!!
3:12 6-4≠4
This will not confuse math and physics (science) nerds. For me it was normal and Riddle 4 it can be 8 - 4 = 4 also.
Seriously got all except one
For #7, whenever you see this problem, automatically assume (total minus known)/2
the answer of the 'BONUS' is :1,5,10,10,5,1. (I wrote it in order starting from the left side)
Bonus answer is 6,3,5,12,6,8
2:59 you can also do 8-4=4
Seventh graders had a great comment. Soda is measured in fluid ounces therefore, the 1 pound of gold is heavier than 16 fluid ounces of soda.
#7 is weird, in the equation it says "the hoodies costs $100 than the pair of shoes" but the equation is not saying that the hoodies is more than $100 it is saying it is $100 more than the pair of shoes. It is worded very weird correct me if I'm wrong.😀
Where a is the cost of the hoodie and b = the cost of the shoes: a+b=150 a=b+100. Substituting b+100 for a in the first equations results in b+100+b=150 or 2b+100=150. Subtracting 100 from both sides results in 2b=50 and dividing both sides by 2 results in b=25. Now, back to the first equation replacing the b with 25 results in a+25=150 and now we subtract 25 from both side and the results is a = 125. But the BIG QUESTION is who would pay 125 DOLLARS for a hoodie?
Question 2 really stumped me
Bonus (from left to right)

I like it
Pear and watermelon = 10
Apple and strawberry = 1
Coconut and peach = 5
By the way i got another solution on number 4 which was 8 - 4 =4 i moved the matchstick in the plus sign
Gold is measured in troy ounces (31.1g), not avdp ounces (28.3g). In the troy system, there are 12 troy ounces to a troy pound (373g). So a pound of gold (373g) weighs less than 16 ounces of soda (454g).
Or you know, could just use grams and kilograms.
If you are going to consider the Gold in Troy ounces, you must consider the cola in Fluid ounces and the density of the cola was not given. Therefore we don't know the WEIGHT of the cola (much less the bottles).
3:16
there is another solution also if u move one of the sticks from the plus sign and add it to the six the equation will be 8-4=4
3:20 I did solution 1 and another solution which is moving the plus sign stick and making it a minus sign then putting the stick at the equation sign making it like this =/= which means doesn’t equal
2:59 To those who say there is a third solution, the vertical stick in the plus sign is under the horizontal stick. So moving it inevitably moves two sticks. *insert genius black guy meme*
But you don’t know that? And it’s technically only moving one because only one switches its place.
For riddle 4 there is a third solution: change + to - and 6 to 8
I got 9/10 and got the bonus right (so 10/11)
Math Nerd: ✅

In the 9th question the question says that you can not use a nickel but in the answer they said the answer is a Nickel and a Quarter but the real answer is a twenty cent piece and a dime.
You misread it. It says "One of them is NOT a nickle!" It does not say the other one can't be.
This didn't stump me. It was simple.
for the fourth question u mist a solution. u can move the vertical matchstick of the + and move it to the six
