You can move 1 and remove 1 matchstick

Move just one piece of this puzzle.

For those who like to solve analytical games and with logical difficulties, this puzzle can guarantee the fun of the day. Because it is a complete puzzle they are solved with the side of the brain.

Because it has a high level of difficulty, you have to think a little outside the box. So, you have to be very creative to get the answer quickly. Carefully review the equation and mathematical symbol. Try to do it alone, but if you feel difficulty review the answers below to practice next time.

The solutions to the puzzle

  • The objective of this puzzle is to move 1 piece (1 matchstick) and remove 1 piece (1 matchstick) to solve the equation;
  • The equation in question is 1 + 1 = 6 written with matchsticks.

That said, there are two solutions to the puzzle. The first of these occurs by moving and removing 1 matchstick from the number 6, so that it transforms to form the number 2. Then you get 1 + 1 = 2.

Another idea to solve the equation is to change the sign of the equation from “+” to “-“ instead of being transformed into 2. To do this, simply remove 1 matchstick from the + sign on the left side and add it to the vacant space on the number 6 on the right side turning the number 8, then you must remove a toothpick from the number 8 turning it into 0.. This will lead you to find the answer, as the equation will become 1 – 1 = 0. Few can quickly solve this riddle, but with practice it will get easier.
