For those who understand a little about basic mathematics, you know that for the result of a multiplication to be equal to zero, one of the products must necessarily be 0. This is not the case with the equation below, where 5 x 6 should equal 30. These numbers, formed by 17 matchsticks, can be modified by moving 2 matchsticks. And that's what this is math brain teaser. Therefore, modify the equation to a logical result when moving only 2 matchsticks:

It is possible to create several logical results by moving 2 matchsticks. However, you can find the result faster than it seems. Some netizens who have taken this test before have claimed that their record resolution time was 10 seconds! Therefore, if possible, time the time taken to arrive at a result. Check out these tips right now:
Does the result need to be multiplication?
Not necessarily. By moving the sticks, it is possible to form a multiplication, division, addition or subtraction. The only rule is that the equation must make sense, that is, arrive at a logical result. And all this just using two toothpicks.
How can I move the sticks?
Freely. It doesn't matter if they are vertical, horizontal or diagonal. It doesn't matter the direction of the toothpick. You can move them freely as long as only two of them are modified.
RESULT
Did you manage to unravel the mystery? Of course, there are several possibilities to arrive at the required result. However, we have chosen here the most intuitive and easy-to-achieve result. With the timer, you can check if you got close to the record of 10 seconds to reach the answer to this ''brain teaser''. If you feel like it took longer than usual, it's always good to bet on new challenges of the genre.
