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
6-9=3...6=9-3
Yep. I saw that one too.
What are you guys seeing?
6-9=-3 ... not the same as 6=9-3
Edit: it just occured to me that maybe your eyes mixed up the symbols at first.
Technically you'd have to move both sticks or the - sign would be too high or low based on the placements in the video
You're moving one match from the equals sign to below the minus sign. So change 6-9=3 to 6=9-3
Genius, as 6 does indeed equal 9 minus 3.
For the first one, I moved the middle segment of the first 8 to the empty space in the 9 to make it 8 + 0 = 8.
On #4 you could make it 8-6=2 by making the 5 into a 6.
Exactly 💯
Where is that extra matchstick coming from?
I got the same.
@@notafraidofchange The horizontal stick at the top: not needed (to have a six) when the stick is moved to close the "circle"
@@jamesjones-wv9ik
Yeah, that seems almost like a cheat, tho. Especially considering that all the sixes throughout the video have an additional horizontal line at the top.
Loved the last one👍
I didn’t get it..-3+7=4 ??
Haha
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.
Oh, that's a cute solution.
The problem 8-5=2 has an alternate solution i.e. turn 5 into six.
That's the way I solved it too
But where are you getting the extra match to turn the 5 into a 6? To add a match there, you need to remove a match from somewhere else.
@@UTU49 take the visor like matchstick of number 5 and put it on the bottom left of number 5 and it becomes number 6. Basically you can turn number 5 into number 6 without any additional matchstick.
@@tennisthroughtrailanderror That's not a 6 based on 7 segment numbers it's b
@@Paul-vf2wl well if there’s some rule that six must have six sticks and not five sticks like letter “b” then what you’re saying is right. But I don’t recall any such precondition while the puzzle was put forth. So I’ll stick with my answer 😀
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)
Move the side stick to make it a minus (-3+7=4).
Remove the top-left vertical stick from the first number(9) to make it 3. Put that stick you removed horizontally in front of the 3 to make it -3. So the equation will now look like this: -3 + 7 = 4 which is correct.
Clickbait thumbnail and a little deceptive , this is backed up by the fact it was left until last , i'm dubious about this persons moral compass.
#4, the top stick on the 5 can be moved to change it to 6 ie, 8-6=2
Okay, I guess that counts as a six
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...
Yeah, I did the same thing with the not equals to.
@@briane173That's the only one I figured out.
1. Solution: 8+0=8 or 0+8=8
Simply move the stick at the base of the number 9 and place it so that it crosses the = sign. Now we have 8+9 is NOT = to 8. A totally valid answer.
I did and the ruddy thing caught 🔥 !!
For #3, you could also remove the vertical match from the + sign and put it diagonally across the equals sign. 9 - 7 does not equal 4.
I find the ones where you have to slide the match stick easier than the ones where you have to pivot the match stick
-3 + 7 = 4 .. yeahhh, got it 🤣
It’s not reasonable..ur using negative numbers..now i understand the last ond
Minus 3 +7=4
#2,
6=9-3
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! ;)
The starting few seconds clealy showcased such a move was illegal, along with making > or
@@RedFloyd469 Darn it. Never noticed that. Thank you
I think you are already not using your one brain cell very hard.
@@dylanwestrand9507 Gotta conserve its energy!
@@dylanwestrand9507 😂
-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
@robabramovitz5192
Unless you understand English period. The challenge is to move one matchstick within the equation. Not remove.
#5 9+7=4. Take the vertical stick from the plus sign, and slash it through the equals sign so you have 9-7≠4
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.

-3+7
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.
Lol, I didn't get any of those right.
The 4th one has an additional solution: Take the top of the 5 and move it down to make that middle number a 6.
#4
8-6 = 2
I wasn't aware we could use negatives
It's giving answer in short times instead of allow to figure out
Move the vertical match on the + over to make the = a not equal (equal with a slash thru it) works most often on these… =/ (but they overlap, just can’t use them in comment, lol)
I got all of them except for the last 5.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
8-5 = 3
Very clever 😎
1. 0+8 = 8+0 = 8
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
In the 1st one you can move the bottoms left stick of the first 8 to in front of the 8 in the answer to make it 9+9 = 18
#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.
Dam, I’m stupid as hell, the 2nd, 4th and last one got me stumped
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
#1 9+9=18
Question 4 that had 8 - 5 = 2 could be turned into 8 - 6 = 2 but Yours was 8 - 5 = 3
No. 2
6= 9-3
My solution for problem 2:
6 - 9 = 3 -> 6 - 3 = 3
I removed a stick.
-3+7=4 (didn’t watch video)
Yeah, but I read your comment.
@@dustyoldduster6407 saved you time 😎👍🏼
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]
Good!
For 6 - 9 equals 3, I just change the 9 to 3 and move the stick off the table. :-) I mean technically the instructions did not say to keep the Matchstick on the same surface. 😂
Move the top stick on the 7, and put it across the equals. 9+1 != 4
Number 4 take the top stick in 5 and turn it in to a 6 makes it 8 - 6 = 2
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.
3+1=4
Multiple answers to all questions.
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...
good video
Feels like cheating the last one.
9 + 7 = 4 => -3 + 7 = 4
16.still works out
8+9=17 (1+7=8)
8+0=8
6-9= -3 тут неправильный ответ, в комментах ответ лучше
Либо 6-3=3 тогда спичку надо просто убрать.
Lmao i assumed we couldn't rotate
in problem 4 move top stick on 5 to make it a 6. 8 - 6 = 2.
#4. 8-6=2
at 1:22 i change a part of the 9 to be a 3 so that 6-3 would be 3
-3+7=4
Make 9 a 3. Use stick to make -9.
Nr 4…8-6=2
The last one take the top of the seven make it a one and using the stick to turn the nine into an eight.
for #2 you could have said 6 = 9 - 3
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
9+7= (4X4=16)
Turn the 9 into a 3 and use the stick you removed to turn the 3 into -3.
#2: 6 = 9 - 3 ...
No4 you can have 8-6=2
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
Auf Z_12 IST die Gleichung
bereits korrekt...
9+7=9,2+7=
8+9=8 assim tira do 8 fica. 9+9=18.
I found alternate solutions to most of these. This type of puzzle is seriously flawed.
Purpose of this video: To make you feel humiliated.
Took me over 2 minutes --but I eventually got it--slow brain!---8+0=8
8+0=8
9 + 9 = 18
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.
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).
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.
8+0=8🎉😊
Bunch of puppies in a bag over a bridge…🧐
#1 - move a stick in the first 8 to make it 9+9=18
8 + 9 = 8 move 1 stick for 0 + 8 = 8
Why not go with 9-7 =/ 4
So how was moving the one stick on the nine the answer???
Got 0 ☹
You don’t solve an equation by changing the answer
