Move only 3 stick to get the coin inside | Tricky Matchstick Puzzles with Answer

[@williambunter3311]

Take a side from 8 to make it a 6. Then use it as a minus and you get -1+6=5.

[@jamienelson3470]

Oh, yes, that works. You could also take the bottom off the 5 and use it to make a 9, so 1+8=9.

[@orionstrain]

@@jamienelson3470 Mostly the number 9 in matchstick puzzle should have a horizontal bar.

[@jz5jo]

remove the center stick of 8 to make it a 0, then put it 'diagonally' on the middle of the equal sign: therefore 1+0 ≠ 5

[@MrMicahapara]

Well that sounds like a good solution and modifying the equation altogether. Or maybe a simpler answer could be, Instead, just take the bottom stick on 5 and add it to the top right side and create 9. 1+8=9... I don't know I may be wrong sha!!

Use the bottom stick on the 5 move it up to top right to make a 9 (1+8=9) 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[@rianmacdonald9454]

But the 9 isn't right then. Good idea - but the digits are old fashioned style calculator format, hence the ''tails'' on the 6's and 9's. The answer is -1 + 6 = 5. Although I didn't get puzzle 2 and 5

[@ethanboucher-tv2gt]

My sister also suggested this method, but I told her the 9 is wrong.

[@keopicat1966]

wrong the 9 must be done with 6 sticks @williambunter3311 just under your comment @williambunter3311 has the good answer -1+6=5.

This is not possible, you need to put one stick on the 5 to make a 9, but if you keep all intact, where would you take this stick from? If the statement was to add a stick, not to move one, it would be possible.

The still image for #5 that is the preview image of the video is frustratingly wrong - the coin is placed such that the solution doesn't quite work. I spent quite a while staring at it and convincing myself there was no solution, only to see that in the video the coin is in a different spot.

[@Frie_Jemi]

Something else shows a puzzle is not the same as the one that scribed in the video. In the video they widen the angle of the peak of the roof, to 90 degrees so that the coin is within the new square . On the image on the thumbnail you cannot widen the roof to include the coin because the coin is too large and in the wrong place. It's a clickbait thumbnail displaying a puzzle which cannot be solved as shown.

For No. 2, you could do it by moving just two sticks. Just move the bottom two sticks to the top and the right hand side to form three squares in an L shape (with a couple of extra sticks sticking out on the left hand side). For No. 6, you probably intended for us to make it say -1 + 6 = 5, but you could also do it by moving the bottom stick of the 5 up to the top right of it to make it into a 9, so that it reads 1 + 8 = 9
