In 545 plus 5. You can do 5 plus 5 plus 5 equal 555 another way by putting a slope into equal sign makeing it inequal

[@06sodapop30]

3:20, or you could just add a line across the equal sign, so it says 5+5+5 doesn't equal 550

[@princeinfinity390]

I think I know the answer to 15 is 43465

[@kartalgurhan]

#4 ain't the only solution.... if you put a stick on the equal sign (not equal sign), the "equation" will still be correct because 5+5+5 is NOT equal to 550.. this, still, is an equation.

[@pearlbhasin8345]

[@BramLastname]

The fifth one can be solved by moving just 2 tho

Also if it's top down view it makes perfect sense

[@jinzhuo1365]

The number 5008, why make a 1 in the middle and not in the front. Also 81105 > 80115

[@zemtek420]

Actually there is a 2nd way to get 5 squares for the 2nd puzzle. Never said the squares had to be the same size. If you remove the center 4 match sticks your are left with 4 small corner squares and then the one large square around the whole thing.

[@zemtek420]

Number 9 can also be done different to get 3 squares by moving 4. Move the 4 center ones to create 1 small square in any 2 corners of the large square.

[@raysilins6326]

[@Dxnkr]

Yes I wondered if someone commented this

[@footdumbell319]

Or turn the 8 into a six the use that stick to turn the four into a nine

[@S1rLemon]

Foot Dumbell that's what I did

[@ambiguousheadline8263]

#15 is 4 The pattern is 4, 3, 4, 6, 4, 9, 4, etc. In other words, every other number is 4 while the rest are the last non-4 number plus 3. Another way to solve would be instead 4, 3, 4, 6, 4, 12, 4, 24, etc. This pattern is the same answer but instead of adding 3 you double the non-4 number.

[@vishavsingh1486]

Its 8 , just add a matchstick in 6 to make an 8 , but in your sequence the next number is 4 4 3 4 6 (4) 8

[@omly7039]

turn the 8 into a 6 by moving one stick and turn the 4 into a 9 , 6+3-9=0

[@Edwoah_The_Legend]

[@chloeeaton6634]

[@danh3617]

OMG you read my mind!! XDDDD

[@HPOfficeJetProAll-In-One]

#13 (9:30) OR, to get an absolutely incomprehensibly ginormous number, you take the matchsticks from the SECOND 0, turn the number around, and crumple up one of the matchsticks into a ball, and create an exclamation point in front of the 81,105, effectively getting !81,105 (81,105 factorial) which is 81,105*81,104*81,103... etc. HUGE number. Edit: Wow you guys are coming up with lots of cool ideas! Keep em coming!

The Crafted Warriors glad to see other nerds around

[@HPOfficeJetProAll-In-One]

Lol

[@HPOfficeJetProAll-In-One]

I always learned that it could be both, but maybe the way you learned, you always put it behind. Either way, at least you got what I meant.

[@caissie2165]

The Crafted Warriors or you can make it 5003 to the power of 7.

[@HPOfficeJetProAll-In-One]

I feel like for it to count the 7 has to have the 2 vertical sticks to make it look like a real 7. What I would do instead since exponents are smaller anyways is break the horizontal stick of the 7 in half so that is is proportional to a normal 7. Great idea though!

[@oinkaka]

For number 11 you can make the 4 a 11 and have 8+3 - 11 = 0

[@jjager89]

Oinkaka Channel did the same

[@walterniel5714]

Yeah ok but where does the other match go?

[@walterniel5714]

Oh wait

[@artemischen4086]

yep and you can also replace the top right match of 8 and make it 6, then put it on top of the 4 to make it 9, which become 6+3 - 9 =0

thats what i did too lol

[@wanfarhan2884]

Q.13 I have a better anwser 51108¹¹

[@jeffreyblack666]

Put the 11 out the front, much bigger then. i.e. ¹¹51108

[@atulalongchar3950]

I am bad at math

[@jeffreyblack666]

2 things, as you said, that breaks the rules, so that wont help, but more importantly, my number is far bigger. The 11 out the front means that you construct a power tower that high. That means you take 51108 and take it to the power of 51108, you then raise 51108 to the power of the result and so on until you have 51108 used 11 times (so 10 raising to the power of). It is very difficult to beat tetration. It makes other functions look like nothing, especially for large numbers. The first step (i.e. 51108^51108) is already over 240 thousands digits long. Even wolfram alpha refuses to calculate the second step. It would be over 10^240000 digits long.

Flop is the top Hungry me also I think 49.cuz it increases by 3

[@dillondupreez7016]

Or it can be a 4? I don't know maybe it's a pattern with every uneven term being the number 4

[@MrKrund]

It could be 4, 9 by adding three. It could also be 4, 12 by doubling iy

[@obamacube4268]

Flop is the top Hungry could be. I counted the matches in each number and each number had 1 more match than the last starting at 4 matches.

[@pokecraft2547]

I think it 4 8. The number of matches goes 4 5 4 6 even tho the numbers you see is 4 3 4 6. 8 uses 7 matches but 9 only uses 6. So number of matches becomes 454647. But it will look like 434649

[@YT7mc]

5:11 For this I made 5 + 5 + 5 = 550 into 5 + 5 + 5 ≠ 550. Look like we got slightly different answers.

[@tolkirum]

YT7 That's not an equation anymore.

[@YT7mc]

Umm... Yes it is. Have you taken 5th grade math? How is that not an equation? R u legit dumb.

[@tolkirum]

YT7 "an equation is a statement of an equality" "equality is a relationship between two quantities or, more generally two mathematical expressions, asserting that the quantities have the same value" "An equation is written as two expressions, connected by a equals sign ("="). The expressions on the two sides of the equals sign are called the "left-hand side" and "right-hand side" of the equation"

[@tolkirum]

YT7 Guess you're another 10-year-old toxic child that received once a computer for his birthday.

[@YT7mc]

The video says "fix this equation." It however does not say "Make this equation into another equation that is correct." The answer given was correct. Just because it isn't an equation doesn't mean it's not right. You're applying rules that never existed.

4 3 4 6 4 9

[@EinsteinsNierenstein]

That is a possible solution. There are others as well: 4 3 4 6 4 12 (doubling every second number) or 4 3 4 6 4 3 4 6 4 3 4 6 (just repeating the pattern)... or ... there are almost infinite solutions available.

[@sebastianneunteufel4702]

EinsteinsNierenstein But if you see it in matchsticks it could be 43 46 48 because every second nmber one matchstick gets added

[@hamnchee]

4346 the next number is 4347

[@arcaviosegaming2335]

Visda58 nice one my dude

[@tacosforrewen5752]

4:13 square root of one can be positive or negative one, so the fraction will result to +-1

[@jakemarcuzzi8229]

TacosForRewen no it can’t what’s -1*-1 ( it’s +1 btw)

[@ChristopherBreeden85]

That's a good catch, but there is a difference between x^2 = 1 so x = +/- 1 and sqrt(1) = +-1. sqrt is often taken to be the positive number such that when squared you get what you started with, which is why the quadratic equation has a +- in front of the square root. Though there are exceptions, (look at the sqrt defined on the slit of the complex plane for instance)

[@philipwong6533]

By definition of square root, it is the positive value. Sq root of 4 = 2 but not + - 2 X^2 = 4 X = + - sq root (4) X=2 or X= -2

[@KevinWood44]

5+5+5 = 550 can also be solved by adding 1 stick to the = sign to make it a not equal sign ≠ 😁😁

[@haleymarshall1238]

10: move only 3 match sticks Me: tryforce

Thank you John, thank you.

[@jaustonneely3233]

Same

[@imbluepower2708]

6:56 there is another way to do it

[@lolzzz1686]

Yh by moving the sides of the small square and joining them to the sides of the big square this method is alot easier lol

[@zurielroycedacoco9502]

I'm Blue Power I KNOW RIGHT

[@fadhilalucky3466]

Awh I only worked out one at least😌😁

[@dragz6233]

For #11 i thought i need to remove the middle part of the 4 to make a 11 so its 8+3-11=0

[@Maunorr]

lildragon 120 me too

[@BowlGOfficial]

But its still a right answer

[@robbo3924]

I moved part of the plus sign and put it over the equal sign so it does not equal 0

[@binimszueriidschuel]

I made a 6 out of the 8 and put the stick to make a 9 out of the 4. 6+3-9=0

[@himarochan3629]

[@rickygomez7266]

43 46 49

The next number is 4347

[@williamr.s.5693]

Yes!

[@martinbaluch8403]

[@jachymtunzer1860]

or 43 46 52

[@imbluepower2708]

10:10 I got 9900...

[@nealtyvell1236]

Me 2

[@melanieponayo6681]

Me2

[@borismuller1086]

9909 is better just move a different match stick from the 8

[@SpiritWolf1505]

I got 8778 if you move the bottom left sticks from the zeros to make an 8 instead of a five. The sevens would just look different.

[@fettucino]

Me too

[@ruiira]

#3:I don't drink wine.

[@shahidiqbal6150]

HULK SMASH WINE!!!!!

[@truthorunfair1296]

For number 6 I said move one of the sticks from the "V" to make a minus to form I/II-I which is 1/(2-1) which is 1

[@lilydai3938]

5:39, I’m literally rofl irl! He was meant to say ‘fair and square’ but the editor cut out that part! Lol XD ;)

[@bptml7]

5 million bucks says the answer to the thumbnail is 9908

[@tuhunerd]

U're wrong

[@pannukakku4168]

It's 511081 now give me my money :)

[@euan.u2]

I know the answer because it is on Tricky Test 2 AND I DID NOT USE CLUES OR ANYTHING (maybe my mind but y'know) PS. You are wrong.

[@Rotom2304]

If you're allowed to bend the sticks, you can get 51^188

[@aivisionart]

Samm Dechand 511108 :)

[@studytips6366]

Mind blowinggg.i watch this type of video for the first time

[@rykeyyy2898]

5005^11

[@tadyluu]

Much smaller than 81105^11 😄

[@haydenkrapes1047]

That is turning it upside down, which is moving all of the sticks

[@tadyluu]

Hayden Krapes : no need to turn upside down, u just need to move yourself to the other side to see that number

[@electrotec7113]

5E108

[@wacpj1929]

I like the scientific notation idea. Probably could only do 5E88 if a true "1" requires two matchsticks though. Or 8E85 if you look at it upside down

[@kristianberget6511]

For #9 you can move all the four middle matchsticks in two pairs in each corner of the big square and vola, one big and two small squares..

[@BramLastname]

You could also just move 3 of them...

[@vixieboo_]

Kristian Berget thats what i thought

[@imbluepower2708]

4:10 He is still shrugging XD

[@carter5540]

I'm Blue Power I know right

[@jeanmcblain7561]

Ya

[@gildarmesh3809]

in this one they could have achieved what they asked by moving only the two sticks for the upper arms so they point down they added in an invisible restriction that they had to have the same angle but they could have achieved it, again, by only moving two sticks

[@adimilo6060]

I'm Blue Power i

[@thebox4670]

Its just upside down

[@ozone2.0]

Easy peasy lemon squeezy lychee🔥🔥

[@MsTeechar]

1:45 you can remove the middle 4 and then there would be the squares in the corners and the one that connects them

[@nnslife]

Alternative solutions: 2) Remove two vertical sticks from center of top row and two horizontal sticks from the center of middle column. You are left with 4 small squares and 1 big square 4) Add a stick to convert equals sign (=) to not-equals (≠) 6) Convert VII to II - I by taking a stick out of V and placing it as a minus sign 8) Put a mirror near sticks 9) I did "opposite" of what they did: moved sticks from the center to the corners (same position they moved sticks to) 11) Solution #1: 8 + 3 - 11 = 0 Solution #2: 6 + 3 - 9 = 0 (in this case 9 has no bottom line) 12) I also got their solution but I think moving just one vertical stick from bottom-right to under the candle (to mirror the upper stick) resembles hat (wide hat) more. I got the same solutions as them for problems not mentioned above except for the first one which I didn't solve.

[@mikefelty2625]

I did the same thing on question # 9, and also got solution #1 on question #11

[@cianchetto4]

Many of these solutions are WRONG. That's because YOU HAVE TO USE ALL THE STICKS TO FORM SQUARES ECC.... You can't leave some sticks unused!!! Honorable mention to The 6 + 3 - 9 = 0. This is WRONG because you have NOT created a 9, it misses a piece.

[@cianchetto4]

Other things WRONG in your comment : 4) it is an IDENTITY, so if you place a =\=, than it isn't an identity anymore. 6) you don't have The space to do that, and The 2 would not br right

[@nnslife]

C'mon! Did you see their solution for the first problem (make cow look behind it shoulders)? 11) 6 + 3 - 9 = 0 - I wrote in the parenthesis that indeed there will be no bottom line like in normal digital clocks but that still highly resembles 9 4) "it isn't an identity anymore", - yes, it is not, but it become correct inequality 6) "you don't have The space to do that", - geometrically I don't, topologically I do "The 2 would not br right", - the 2 would not be perfect but still easily recognisable by people as 2.

[@Pranshul400]

What about this #13 correct answer is 5708^11 highest no. Is 5708 raised to the power 11

[@kevindkevin86]

5^1108 is drastically larger

[@Pranshul400]

But we have to move only 2 matchstick s..

[@inline4023]

The correct answer is actually 5005^11 Because you can’t make a seven out of a zero without moving 3 matchsticks, we could only move 2

[@Pranshul400]

We can make just move bottom left corner matchsticks it will be considered as 7 for highest number we can do this.

[@TheHuskr007]

Pranshul Choudhary That's not a number, it's an expression

?

[@fletch84]

#13 I made 6.214093e+51 (51108 to the 11th power)

[@daedfx1294]

FletcherIsCool um

[@nameguy101]

Move it to the top-left corner and get 51108 tetrate 11, which is 10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^5.381371650145567. Whatever it doesn't matter, bright side is a fricking awful youtube channel.

[@Barreloffish]

@nameguy or move the 11 to the bottom left or bottom right, and easily gets infinity for the answer when put in the google calculator. not sure which one is actually larger.

[@onewhoknocks1154]

Wow, you got 6 sexdecillion, I only got 9.8 undecillion.

[@SunnyKimDev]

i moved only stick to make 50 / 00 . it is infinity cuz. 50 ÷ 00 = x 0 × x = 50 ok?

[@camtheman807games6]

8:11 move the top right match stick on the eight on top of the four to make 6 + 3 - 9 = 0. Oh nvm

[@user-fj9si9hq3w]

Hi this is so good to watch I like the vids

[@EnerJetix]

6:34 you could move 2 matchsticks of the small square (that are beside each other) to the corner of the big one and do the same on the other side to make 3 squares.

[@chamentertainment6602]

#10 was easy

[@georgesorkin1609]

For #13, you could get 51108!!, or the factorial of the factorial of 51108 just by moving the two sticks on top and bottom of the zero next to the five to the end of the number.

[@perwagenius3721]

how do you get a dot with a matchstick? I like 5^1108 much better.

[@georgesorkin1609]

Per Wagenius The red stuff at the end of the match stick.

[@dilvias8659]

You could do 11^51108.

[@tsegmedodontuya1850]

i thought it would be 9000 if cuz two matchstick=1

[@VoltisArt]

Most of these puzzles state that breaking sticks is not allowed and imagining that the tip is separate from the stick is effectively the same thing. I think Per Wagenius wins this, though it requires using a format invented due to the limits of computers and displays not having superscript support. (It's still technically accurate, but we'd not write it by hand that way.) I don't have the weeks of time to turn the factorial into its basic iterations, or know of a program that would solve it. What does 51108!! work out to, if it was allowed? I'm sure it's massive, but curious if anyone here can share the answer to compare. 5^1108 resolves in one step, (on a calculator, at least!) 2.87584...e+774. (For the math illiterate, that's a number 775 digits long!) Dilvias failed by moving (at least) four sticks instead of two. I also don't think half-height characters count for this puzzle, though they might be used for superscript 1's. Tsegmed, I too got stuck on limiting to four digits (ala LED display) and came up with 9909. Move the bottom-left from the 8 to the 5 upper-right, making both 9, then move the bottom-left stick within the first 0, making another 9.

[@ΔημήτρηςΤηλελής]

#13 you can make 9803. Simply remove from the right zero bottomleft matchstick put it in the 5 create a nine and the 0 that u made a 9 from take the topright make a 3 and put the matchstick in the left 0 and create an 8

For #13, isn't 51108^11 also possible? Even if exponentiation is not allowed, you can make 501118 then flip to get 811105, which is larger than 801115
