The solution to today’s digital challenge
Step 1:
To solve the 6-0=81 matchstick puzzle, first move a matchstick from the equal sign to the minus sign. Now the minus sign becomes the equals sign and the equals sign becomes the minus sign.
Step 2:
Then move the matchstick to the top right of the number 0 horizontally in the middle, so that the number 0 becomes 9.
This is the 2nd option! You have a doubt? Remember, we told you to think outside the box and think outside the box. Just change your point of view and look at the image from another angle. And what happens if you look at the image upside down? This is the correct equation 18-9=9.
