Train your mental focus with this cool brainteaser. Only move one matchstick to solve this equation. Are you up for the challenge? If you get stuck, you can scroll down to check out the answer. But give it your best shot first - go for it!

Can you fix this equation?

The original equation 6 + 4 = 4 is of course wrong. Move just one stick to a different place - but here are two rules you are not allowed to break: 

  1. The matchsticks need to stay intact and can not be broken.
  2. It needs to be an equation - including a "=" sign 

Could you do it? If you struggled, don't worry - practice makes perfect. We have the solution for you below!
