Hey guys! Which of these puzzles did you manage to solve?
Hey BRIGHT SIDE in no 11 you can do 11-11=0 move middle stick in 4

Great Video!
Non of them😢!!!!
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
3:20, or you could just add a line across the equal sign, so it says 5+5+5 doesn't equal 550
Gwendolyn Smith that’s what is was thinking
Same
That's what I was thinking too
Gwendolyn Smith that is what i was thinking too xD
I think I know the answer to 15 is 43465
#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.
kartalgurhan did the same!
So true
I did the same!
kartalgurhan I did the same thing..
kartalgurhan that's the same solution I came up with.
8:19 #11 it could have been 6 + 3 - 9 = 0
Thay was going through my mind
I mean I guess so
I also got 6+3-9=0
8 + 3 - 11 = 0
@@nemzkiepandzz1880 that's what I got
1:02 these two sticks make the cows head, so let's just move them to the right and voila, now our cow has a broken neck
Ray Silins ik right
Lol
Ray Silins I thought of putting one stick on the back so the other stick would line up and it would be behind
haha
Got all correct
For number 3, sure you got the cherry out, but in that turn, you just dumped all your wine.
So who's the smart one now?
Wolframite THATS WHAT I SAID XD
Everything Sisters why would they just have a lone cherry in a wine glass then?
Everything Sisters and Wolframite it's only a math question
Wolframite why not grahbe the cherry and pull it out
Stick Asset or that too!
For some of them i found other alternatives

1:53 I would have removed the 4 central sticks :)
creating 4 small squares and a big one
thats a cross not a square smart guy
@@rolfkjellberg5507 It shows a cross, but nevertheless it includes exactly five squares. It's not exactly a cross because the corners on the original large square are still there.
#5 is incorrect since you put the entire crab upside down but the claws are still technically still up
The Trump of God Ministries the ENTIRE crab is upside down,the arms are included if you turn over your device or head.
The fifth one can be solved by moving just 2 tho
Also if it's top down view it makes perfect sense
You ever wonder if they put things in incorrectly to have people argue in the comments?
They might just do that
#13 only move two. He said u can flip it upset down too..... that's moving all them. Like if u agree
to top it of they didn't even do the flipped version correctly
Thats the exact same thing i said to myself
I don't like that one because the numbers should be the same size...those ones didn't even look like 1s...if u kept it a 4 digit number like I did, the highest number you can get is 9,988
Jake Henry, where did the extra matchsticks come from?

For the #4
It's wrong, because it would make like this =

Q.13
I have a better anwser
51108¹¹
Put the 11 out the front, much bigger then.
i.e. ¹¹51108
I am bad at math
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.
Wan Farhan you’re a god

A lot of these have multiple answets

Lol what is answets?? 🤣
There is more than one way to solve some of these =/ lol
bob Zombie I know it triggerd me so much
bob Zombie like question 9 put the little square into 2 ls and then put them in the corner
bob Zombie I agree!
there are ways without changing the rules.
bob Zombie yaa
Literally everyone of these riddles has an alternative solution. |:
Yeah you are right
IKR
#3
IKR
IKR
#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.
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
I agree
Same
me too.
Correct
What a beautiful cow
LOL
In 4th one you can put a stick on the equal sign so that it means unequal
JoeLikes GT that’s what I was thinking
Yeah
JoeLikesGT Yes, you could. Because Bright Side forgot the all important part about the equation having to be equal.
Omg same
JoeLikes GT um thats not an equation
5:39, I’m literally rofl irl! He was meant to say ‘fair and square’ but the editor cut out that part! Lol XD ;)
#3:I don't drink wine.
HULK SMASH WINE!!!!!
For number 11 you can also move the four and turn it into an 11... /:
Annika Angelo not as high tho
I think your equation deserves A+😉
Yes I wondered if someone commented this
Or turn the 8 into a six the use that stick to turn the four into a nine
Foot Dumbell that's what I did
8:10 just move the horizontal one in the 4 down to make 11 so it says 8+3-11=0. Much easier.
The Crafted Warriors true...
The Crafted Warriors I thought of that too
I did that
There's probably more then 3 ways to it
The Crafted Warriors or change the 8 into a 6 and the 4 into a 9 6+3-9=0

BRIGHT SIDE 5
181105
The number 5008, why make a 1 in the middle and not in the front. Also 81105 > 80115
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.
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.
#8: You said "No breaking a single one." You never said "No breaking all of them."
He never said cloning them
You are right
I went with laying them in a six sided star shape like on a phone keypad.
Yeah I heard it
The problem with breaking them is that you windup with three matches and three sticks. But if you split them lengthwise...
In #4 convert = to ≠, Ez
Agastya Anand ≠ TheIronPuppy
That's what I did
Yes that is right
In the original puzzle, that is not allowed, but seinse not specidied in this case, technicly right
Agastya Anand that is not an equation
for #4 you can put the matchstick on the = sign diagonally and it'll be 5+5+5 not = to 550 like if you agree
I Hate Peanuts. I said that too but wrong. Btw i hate peanuts too
Delicious test
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
I feel like the majority of these questions weren't explained properly enough for me to understand what to do. The word "replace" alone made me overthink with a confused mind.
Myles Brathwaite especally that one with the hat
I agree. On top of giving such a limited time frame. Either explain them properly, give more time or ask to pause the video.
yeah. I paused anyways, cause f*ck this video XD
No but, yeah. There's a lack of instructions and time
You are right
I. Agree
On number 11 it said 8+3-4=0 instead of making it 9+3-4=8 I moved the flat match in the 4 to make it 11 8:20
turn the 8 into a 6 by moving one stick and turn the 4 into a 9 , 6+3-9=0
I thought it was 8 + 3 - 4 = 9 becuase 8+3 = 11 and i moved one stick to make the 0 into a 9
Purified Drinking Water :b yeah I said that top
I mean too
That’s what I did
8:11 move the top right match stick on the eight on top of the four to make 6 + 3 - 9 = 0. Oh nvm
4:13 square root of one can be positive or negative one, so the fraction will result to +-1
TacosForRewen no it can’t what’s -1*-1 ( it’s +1 btw)
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)
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
5:36 - "And there's your 2 squares, fair and s..."
I thought he said, “ And there’s your two squares, *ferrets* .”
lol
Caliber Whips
s... ubscribe to dolan dark
He said two squares not 1 square and a random shape
7:52 you could literally just move the horizontal match on the 4 and place it vertically underneath the right vertical match on the 4 to make it 11. The addition sentence would then read 8+3-11=0. Much, MUCH easier (in my opinion).
True
Also: the horizontal stick who makes 4 put leftunder, 8+3=11-11=0
5:36 "There's your two squares! Fair and sq."
for # 11 you could also move a stick in the 4 to make and 11
Nope
Got that the first time and I still got it right!
AKA it's Tyler Your right in the mid of the four to make a 11
you could also move 1 mach stick from 8 over the equal sign.
LordDrakite that’s what I did
For no.2 you could also remove the middle 4 sticks
Random Fun that's what I thought
That’s not a square tho
ya it is
Ya thats what i did
that what I end up with
Thanks,next no.9
3:22 or just put a cross on equal so it means not equal to
Does this guy know what a square is
Yes he does u just have to look at it closely
yea, but you aren't smart enough to understand
o h , t h o s e c o n c a v e h e x a g o n s
AJ Halime im afraid no he dosnt
Dude I agree! Freaking 6 sides isn’t a square! I’m not that good a math but still! I’m smart enough to know a square is four sides!
For number 11 you can make the 4 a 11 and have 8+3 - 11 = 0
Oinkaka Channel did the same
Yeah ok but where does the other match go?
Oh wait
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
Mind blowinggg.i watch this type of video for the first time
#9 has an additional solution: Take all four matchsticks out of the middle square and place two of them on two corners each.
For number 11, you could also move one of the matchsticks from the 8 to make a 6 and put that in the 4 to make a 9 because 6+3-9=0!
Chloe eaton that’s what I did 😂
Same, that what I did
But 9 has a curve at the bottom so u would need a stick for that to
Thats not a 9 that's either a 9 without the bottom or a 9 without the left part.
OMG you read my mind!! XDDDD
On number 11 it was 8+3-4=0 I removed the horizontal line in 4 and brought it down to get 11 like if you did the same
Sam Rounds yeah i took 8+3-4=0 and made it 6+3-9=0...works :)
It is not valid because the number in that question is written like that in the calculator.
Nice tricks love it
7:55 It could’ve been 8+3-11 = 0 or 6+3-9 = 0
Yeah
8:29 for #11 you could also adjust the horizontal stick in 4 down so that it becomes 8 + 3 - 11 = 0
Mike B I did that too
i like how you used that thing for E.G. 1:26 4:59 3:57 14:09
That was what I did
Same theres more thenone way... I did a different way with the squares and triangles to
me too
...yea....now the cherry is out, but what about the wine? Is it just flowing everywhere?
#savagejokes he or she will get burnt😨
You gotta do what you gotta do to not have that cherry in your wine, even if it means completely spilling it over.
Hahaha. Lol
My idea was move 1 stick 2 times to squidh teh cherry
it does not have wine
For many of them, I failed to solve the problem based on the answer you created. I solved them in multiple ways.
the 11nth question has another answer
we have just to move a match stick from 4 so that it becomes 11
so 8+3=11 & 11-11=0
That's what I did too what up
@Upulee Samarakoon What’s 11nth? It’s 11th.
@@magepg3d1 it looks like u don"t make any typing errors

How?
Eric Leach it's a secret for the smarter ones.
Eevee RealSenpai come on
But one matchstick is unused
In 4th one, put the matchstick diagonally on =
sign and see the magic
It was very easy to me
8:07 I removed the top right match from 8 to make it 6 and then placed it above 4 to make it 9
I.e,(6+3-9=0)
Same, but the way that they make their nines, ours wouldn't have the foot at the bottom.
I took the vertical match from the plus sign and added it to the end to make 8-3-4=01
Hayden Krapes but that’ll be a short one
hw2 here same
But you need to move one matchstick
got answer for all don't move em cause they say don't play with matches

#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
Lol
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.
The Crafted Warriors or you can make it 5003 to the power of 7.
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!
For # 13 you did not rule out using the two moved sticks as an exponent, thus 5998to the 11th power
In #4,,, it can even be 5+5+5 not equal to 550 , by adding a matchstick on = to make it not equal to.....
For number 8 he said to not break a single so break all of them
Shadow Gd same
Shadow Gd but you would have to break all of them at once
no, you've got it too literally
by "dont break one" means "dont break any matchsticks at any amount

Flybug123 stop 🛑 it!!!!!
Flybug123 how dare you do that
6:56 there is another way to do it
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
I'm Blue Power I KNOW RIGHT
For number 11 I got something different and and it is correct😁
810115 if you put the 1 after the 8 when you flip is upside down
My answer for number three.. What if you like cherries... I like them so I would get number three wrong... Or would it be correct.
At 8:30 you can move the middle stick of the 4 and make it 11, that works
Albin Westman I agree
Nice
omegasuperfoo9 dud, you don’t make the 8 a nine, you keep the 8 and move the stick of the four down.
Albin Westman I thought that to
it does
10:07 nope that is not answer
The answer is
11^81105
(Making small 11in left up corner and flip it)
1:58 you can also remove the four matches in the center.
WAIT WAIT WAIT ON #13 you can take the stick from the middle of the 8 and make a nine out of the five!
thecowboi039 I said that too
same here
Or take the middle of the eight make it into a 9 out of the 5 and then on the 2nd zero take the bottom left corner of that zero and place it in the middle of the zero, and have 2, 9s
In summary you got 9,900
Turn the 8 into a 5 an give the entire thing the exponent of 11. That’s the correct answer.
5005^11. This equals 49367927004651487418465090576709033203125.
INLINE genius
On #11 you could also move the vertical line in the 4 and you will solve it
#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
Answer no.15 is...
Oops! No matchsticks left
Answer no. 15 is 434649

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

#9 more than 1 way to make 3 squares. Remove middle square and make 2 corner squares.
the lobster one can be done by moving only 2 matches
1:45 you can remove the middle 4 and then there would be the squares in the corners and the one that connects them
5+5+5 = 550 can also be solved by adding 1 stick to the = sign to make it a not equal sign ≠
😁😁
#11 make the number 4 as 11 by moving the middle stick so it becomes 8+3-11=0. Maybe one of the many ways to solve it.
1:26 you could also remove the center square.
4:10 He is still shrugging XD
I'm Blue Power I know right
Ya
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
I'm Blue Power i
Its just upside down
For #11 i thought i need to remove the middle part of the 4 to make a 11 so its 8+3-11=0
lildragon 120 me too
But its still a right answer
I moved part of the plus sign and put it over the equal sign so it does not equal 0
I made a 6 out of the 8 and put the stick to make a 9 out of the 4. 6+3-9=0
lildragon 120 me too
You can also move a stick from 8 making it 6 then put it on the 4 making it 9 so it will be 6 + 3 - 9 = 0
8:22 you could’ve just moved the middle match stick in the four to create a 11
More Like Puzzles that every Kid can slove
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..
You could also just move 3 of them...
Kristian Berget thats what i thought
Did anyone else see the different way of making the three squares?
Awh I only worked out one at least😌😁
