THE PROBLEM WITH THE MATCHES

To train the logic and flexibility of the representation to solve the problem with the matches. When he came up with themselves match, hardly imagine that someone will use. However, instead of matches you can take and counting sticks, for example, but with matches like that handy, and the size they have for these purposes, perfect.

So, take a closer look at what these tasks are. Matches can be folded digit, numbers and even math. Such tasks You will ask of this game. Only you will have to solve the examples. In each task one, two or three matches are laid on the table incorrectly, or distorting the figure that they have contributed to, or sign action, or result. You need to guess what kind (s) of matches need to shift and how that example is correct.

Before each task You will be shown a requirement for her solutions. For example: Remove 1 means that it is necessary to remove only one match so that equality makes sense and fairness. Look at the first task: 9 + 9 = 0 — it is obvious that the equality is wrong. In the task said: Remove 1, that is, you need to remove one match and example will be correct. What? Prompt. If you remove the vertical match from the plus sign, we get: 9 - 9 = 0 — true equality. So these tasks are being addressed.

Among the requirements may be such, e.g.: Remove 1, Add 1 — that is, remove one and add one match (in fact it is necessary to rearrange one of the matches). Or, say, 8 and Subtract 2 — we need to shift the matches so that the example 8 - 2 = ... correct, that is: 8 - 2 = 6. And so on.

If You have correctly solved the puzzle, then all the matches on the table burn. Don't worry, it's just animation so confirming the correctness of Your solution. If the answer is incorrect, nothing will happen — keep thinking. How to solve the problem incorrectly? You've misplaced three matches and You have reached true equality, but the match froze and did not burn up — so the decision is incorrect. This means that the job needed to shift not three matches as did You, and only two, for example. This happens, among other things. That is the answer and a solution no. Try to think more and find the right solution. Good luck!
