Can you solve this problem?

That’s so easy: 6+u=H. ;-p

easy: 5+4 ≠ 4

Or turn the 6 into a 0. Your pick.

Thanks to Raggy there are now 3 answers.

“Math is hard.” “Let’s go shopping.” – Barbie.~~~

“Math is not the only thing that is hard” – Ken

I was referring to the “talking Barbie” fiasco about 15, or more years ago. She said lots of controversial stuff, that made women look stupid, and materialistic.

Ken can’t get hard. Well. The last Ken doll I saw, was probably 25 years ago. But he used to just have a smooth bulge. In fact, I don’t think he can technically be called a he. More of an it…

All of Ken is hard. So is Barbie. Especially her boobs.

I thought we weren’t supposed to share answers.
Too easy. I know an unmentioned answer

Hmm….Guess that’s true. Weren’t their heads soft?

Pm me with it @MrGrimm888

Yes. When they had heads that weren’t ripped of they were soft.

I have many skill sets. Math, beyond basics, is something that I gave up on long ago. I doubt I can remember how to do long division even. I didn’t even look at the problem. It just reminded me of the old talking Barbie… Sorry to hijack your thread. I had spent hours, without power, and was just bored, so when I got my power back, I got into a thread, I had no business contributing to. Apologies… Filmfan, has an answer…

After actually lookin at the problem. None of the above answers follow the guidelines. It says ”remove just one stick.” It does not say to move a stick. So, all above answers, are wrong…

No, it definitely says ‘move’.

Ah
So it does. Well, even I could have solved that…

There are two solutions, neither of which has been mentioned.

Here is a fun problem. You have a balance scale and 4 weights, each of which is a whole number of pounds. You can add weights by placing them in the same pan or subtract weights by putting them in different pans. By adding and subtracting weights you can get any net weight from 1 to 40 lbs. What are the 4 weights?

Turn the 6 into a 5 and the 4 in the answer to a 9.

OK, here are the solutions:

1)This is one Raggy figured out. 0 + 4 = 4.
2) 5 + 4 =9
3) 8 – 4 = 4

If you have other solutions please let us know.

Only if you consider that a 9 without the horizontal line at the bottom.
Which I do not.

What? You move the blue stick off of the left side of the 6 and add it to the top of the 4 in answer. It’s a digital 9.

@Dutchess_III
It clearly needs a horizontal line at the bottom to qualify as a 9

I do stand corrected on the “digital” comment, but I hand write 9s all the time without the bottom horizontal line.

And I write my 7s like this

But even if you didn’t I’d still recognize it as a 7.

Not in this context.

Maybe the second solution is more acceptable. Move the vertical line of the plus sign to change the 6 to an 8. 8 – 4 =4

They are all acceptable. Raggy is just being anal retentive.

Without seeing it, I say possibly.

I moved the vertical yellow one from the plus sign and made the 6 into an 8. so it says 8–4=4
