This Tricky Equation Has Several Answers That People Are Missing

SHARE
A simple equation is getting some attention online because no one seems to agree on the answer. The trick for this equation is that there are four possible answers!


Let's take a look at it, shall we?

Obviously, six added to four doesn't equal four. Your task is to change one of the many line segments, which can include both symbols and numbers, to make the equation true. 

Believe it or not, there are four ways to make this work. 

It may seem easy, but people have had a hard time getting all four answers. 

Okay, let's go through one simple way to make the equation work. 

The first way is to move the green line on the six to make it a zero. 

This satisfies the answer four. 

Let's go on to the next solution...

The next way is to move the vertical blue line from the six and place it on top of the number four in the answer making nine. 

Bam, five plus four equals nine.

Well, it was.

Let's move on...

The third solution requires that you move the vertical yellow stick from the plus sign and move it to the right side of the six, turning it into an eight. 

Whabam, you have eight minus four, which equals four. 

Okay, there is one more solution. It's a little complicated, though...

Beware! The answer is just below. This is your last chance to get the answer on your own.

It's more satisfying that way, isn't it?

So this one is a little tricky and maybe questionable. 

First, move the vertical yellow stick from the plus sign and move it to the bottom part of the first four. 

Do you see how this makes six minus one minus one equals four? Some people think this answer is cheating.

Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do, right? This one passes in my opinion.
