Fooled me with the negative!
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
6-9= NEGATIVE 3. This was wrong. 1:19
@@mikekolokowsky you didn't read the answer properly. 6 = 9 - 3. The = is moved.
#2 6-3=3^1
I thought the same.
that was also my solution
In many of these, I'd just take a match out of the addition sign and put it diagonally over the equals sign to make it not equal, and I won't have to use my brain cell to think too hard! ;)
6-9=3...6=9-3
Yep. I saw that one too.
Loved the last one👍
There should've been a specific mention that negative numbers are allowed. Because otherwise the last equation isn't true.
Well the last equation IS true when you do what they did; but we all thought we were dealing strictly with positive numbers and not integers.
@@briane173 I thought we were strictly using integers.
For the last one, I thought of taking the vertical stick from the '+' sign and putting it on the lower left of the 9 but reading it as a letter, so B - 7 = 4 which is correct in hexadecimal.
First puzzle: 9+9=18 (for very short values of 1)
I did and the ruddy thing caught 🔥 !!
I had a great solution until you banned the "does not equal" sign. Lol!
I was thinking the same thing straight away. I only wish they were more specific about allowing integers as opposed to positive #'s, and perhaps the last equation wouldn't have looked so impossible.
Ok. MORE AND MORE RULES BECAUSE THE DUDE WHO CAME UP WITH IT INSTANTLY REALIZED IT WAS PATHETICALLY EASY FOR ANY MATHEMATICIAN...
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)
#4, the top stick on the 5 can be moved to change it to 6 ie, 8-6=2
On #4 you could make it 8-6=2 by making the 5 into a 6.
#4
8-6 = 2
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
I just changed = to ≠ everytime.
#2,
6=9-3
Lol, I didn't get any of those right.
The problem 8-5=2 has an alternate solution i.e. turn 5 into six.
Change 6 - 9 = 3 into 6 - 9 < 3 by tilting the upper stick in the equal sign.
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
@robabramovitz5192
Unless you understand English period. The challenge is to move one matchstick within the equation. Not remove.
-3 + 7 = 4 .. yeahhh, got it 🤣
8-5 = 3
The answer to every one of these is the ≠ sign
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).
Easy. move the stick marking the top to bottom cross on the plus sign and move it over to diagonally bisect the equals sign.
So now we have 9 - 7 Does not equal 4 and it is an accurate formula.
So many incorrect answers posted... So sad. 😊
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+0=8🎉😊
good video
On #5 I was stuck so I took the vertical part of the plus sign and laid it diagonally across the equal sign giving 9 - 7 does not equal 4
🤣 I thought of that too until they said ≠ wasn't allowed. I do wish they had said _integers_ were allowed as opposed to positive #'s and the last one wouldn't have looked so impossible.
I find the ones where you have to slide the match stick easier than the ones where you have to pivot the match stick
9+7>4
-3+7=4 (didn’t watch video)
Bunch of puppies in a bag over a bridge…🧐
Good!
6 = 9 - 3
Move the top stick on the 7, and put it across the equals. 9+1 != 4
1. 0+8 = 8+0 = 8
Feels like cheating the last one.
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
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.
#4 (8-5=2) You can change the 5 into a 6 (8-6=2)
@ej2315
And where do you take the stick to change the 5 into a 6 ?
@@jean-loup1948top part of 5.
9 + 7 = 4 => -3 + 7 = 4
-3 + 7 = 4
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]
Turn the 9 into a 3 and use the stick you removed to turn the 3 into -3.
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. 😂
0+8=8
Took me over 2 minutes --but I eventually got it--slow brain!---8+0=8
#3 9-5=4
If you use this key "≠" the answers are múltiples
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
-3+7=4
Make 9 a 3. Use stick to make -9.
The last one take the top of the seven make it a one and using the stick to turn the nine into an eight.
I found alternate solutions to most of these. This type of puzzle is seriously flawed.
Got 0 ☹
5 + 7 ≠ 4
or
-3 + 7 = 4
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 doesn't equal 4.
9+1≠4
This was my answer
@@ronhoward121 Some variation on this works for 90% of problems like this. I guessed the same.
Except it specifically stated at the start of the video that ≠ isn't allowed. About the 0:06-0:07 mark it reads "note: ≠, is not allowed."
@@josephwest124 That rule is just a trick. I thought outside that box.
@@ronhoward121 I mean it isn't an equation anymore though, so did you really fix the equation?
8 + 9 = 8 move 1 stick for 0 + 8 = 8
Purpose of this video: To make you feel humiliated.
9-5=4
1. 0+8=8
1. Solution: 8+0=8 or 0+8=8
8-6=2
9-1 != 4
So how was moving the one stick on the nine the answer???
-3+7
9+7=4 suy ra 9-7=2
13+4=17
aaaah mizeravi!
Why take 3 min for answer?
convert the equal (=) to a greater than (>)
They said that wasn't allowed.
Can I sue you for making me feel stupid? 8 (
It is 4 when someone, guess who stole the other 12
My solution was: 9-7≠4 😊
5+7=H
8+0=8
8-9≠8
How do you move the matchstick
0+8 =8
9-7=2
It looks good but how do you make the two moving only one stick???
-3+7=4
0+8=8
