Question:

Riddlerrrrr.......get cracking fellas!? Jesus....I am surprised so far none has been even close to solving it.


Below is an equation. In the sense the equation is physically displayed by using matchsticks (use to play in college). It is incorrect. The challenge is to pick 1 matchstick from anywhere in the equation & replace it somewhere in the equation so that the equation becomes correct!

XXIII / VII = II

(Left side-no.of sticks used are X=2;X=2;111.Total=7 on top; V-2 + 1+1=4 Below; Right side II = 2 matchsticks.)

babeinwoods was soooo close.................somethin... that has the value 3.14.....? Take I from XXIII to make a hat for the II on the other side -
XXII / VII = π
22/7 = 3.14285 = pi

:) take a matchstick off the second x and replace it next to it making it XIIII / VII = II, 14/7=2, even thought that's not how 14 is written... take XXIII / VII = II and move I from the II and put it over the = diagonally so it is now 23 / 7 (not equal to) 1 Are we allowed to move the = sticks? OK, here's a shot, although it's not EXACTLY what you've asked for.

Take the second X and rearrange the matches into a V -- that changes a (23) to an (18).
Turn the divided by sideways, making it a minus.
18 minus 7 = 11, reading the former Roman numeral 2 as two Arabic ones (eleven).

Am I close? I would take one from the left side make it 6 and add one to the right side making it 3. As to said that V is -2 so, it would be 6/3=2 Ok....the answers above are wrong. This is a riddle that does not have the answer in the form of maths calculation eg., 21/7=3.....it's something that BASICALLY means the two sides mean the same........25=5 square; 2=smallest prime no.;
lookout for the eye in the sky, soon u will have u'r own pie? XXIII / VII (ok i dunno how to type a not equal to sign) I I did the same as mitzy, making the pie...... Brilliant puzzle though!!!
