[Dennis Olson]

I can’t figure it out

click below to see the answer

7+2=9

move lower left leg of the 8 to make the 1 into a 7

Edit: spoiler tag removed.

 

[Toosh]

Oh thats easy...7+2=9. Move 1 match from the 8 and make the 1 into a 7.

 

[Mac]

I'm not good at these but could move the verticle in the plus to the equal sign to make 1-2 does not equal 8?

 

[Buick Electra]

I'd remove one of the matches from the + sign so it read 1 + 2 -8 (without giving an answer). But I'm not an INTJ, I'm an ADHD so what do I know.

 

[Pinecone]

Or 1 + 3 < 8

Edited to add: that should have been 1 + 2 < 8

 

[West]

.2 +.8 = I

 

[bluelady]

I'm not good at these but could move the verticle in the plus to the equal sign to make 1-2 does not equal 8?

That was my guess, but I think Toosh got it!

 

[Peachy]

This was my line of thinking too. New math = common core?

 

[subnet]

[jward]

[Cardinal]

I was going to say light one of the matches, apply flame to remaining matches. Problem solved.

 

[quar]

take the middle match from the 8 and put a slash thru the equal sign

 

[mikeho78]

Move lower left match from the 8 and turn the one into a 7
7+2=9

 

[psychgirl]

***All of us INFJ’s are too busy curled into a fetal position trying to figure out why you’re doing this to us. We sense doom.

 

[Groucho]

5 eggs. Hammer ate a few of them.

 

[naegling62]

 

[compchyk]

you know I now wouldn't be able to sleep for a month..........

 

[The Hammer]

There are 19 eggs.

 

[psychgirl]

There are 19 eggs.

See? Eggs??

I don’t know what is even happening here!!

 

[The Hammer]

5 eggs. Hammer ate a few of them.

Not this time. I left them alone because I want to know the exact right answer...

 

[Signwatcher]

I would remove all of the matches and in no time my stress over this torture puzzle would be gone!

 

[Pinecone]

Not this time. I left them alone because I want to know the exact right answer...

With new math, there won't be an exact right answer! It's what you feelz is right, everyone is right, no hurt feelings.

(But I would like to know the answer that is supposedly right because I like my answer!) LOL

 

[packyderms_wife]

How to keep an INTJ occupied for hours on end!

 

[packyderms_wife]

I would remove all of the matches and in no time my stress over this torture puzzle would be gone!

[Dennis Olson]

It's an EMP!!!!

 

[West]

I would of got it, if I had paid attention to the question. I just made it make sense. Not playing around with matches.

.8 + .2 = 1.

 

[medic38572]
