Matchstick puzzles are an excellent way to exercise logic and provide mental stimulation. A new challenge has emerged: you need to correct a mathematical equation by moving just two matchsticks within 60 seconds.
This puzzle was published by the creator of the YouTube channel “Головоломки Puzzles” (Puzzles of Puzzles).
According to the creators of such tasks, developed observation is key to successfully finding solutions.
“Carefully analyze the equation. Sometimes the correct answer is hidden in the least noticeable detail,” noted the puzzle’s author.

Don’t rush when solving it: check all possibilities, as even one matchstick can completely change the problem. Look closely at each symbol – this will help you find the correct answer faster.
If you couldn’t solve the puzzle, you can view the correct answer. And for those who want to continue, here’s a similar task: in the equation “7+6=5”, you need to move two matchsticks to make it correct.
We remind you that social media users cannot agree on the correct answer to a simple arithmetic problem: 24 ÷ 6 × 6 ÷ 3.
