If You Can Solve This Quick Matchstick Problem, Then You Are Smarter Than... This problem was extremely hard. I sat and stared at it for a good 10 seconds before realizing what matchstick to use. To solve the problem you move one matchstick. By doing this you correct the equation to be true. I know it has been a long time since many of us have taken math, but this is simple addition. I think we can all handle it. The equation starts as 6+4=4. The entire image is made of matchsticks and only one matchstick can be moved in order to correct. The crazy thing is, 6+4 does not equal 4, but 10. See if that will help you? Are you still struggling? Dont worry! Many people struggle with this problem. It is one of the harder matchstick problems that I have ever tried. Could you imagine a problem that involved multiplication and division?! It would take me forever just to figure out the math! Long division was always hard for me. Then I found a shortcut and it has been easy ever since. Math is not many peoples strong suits, but it can become one. Math just takes practice. You must fail multiple times before you ever succeed in true math. The same goes for this problem. I had to guess and check using almost every single matchstick before I used the right one. Ill give you a hint. You move one of the + matchsticks. After that you are on your own. Once I figured out to make it subtraction I knew where to put the matchstick. I knew it wouldnt be the 4s and so I tried the 6. Low and behold the 6 turned into an 8. The new equation is 8-4=4. Crazy! Right? It took a long time to figure that one out, but when I did I was extremely happy! I showed my friend it and he solved it in less than 6 seconds. He probably had seen it before. How long did it take you?
