Viral challenges.

In today's challenge, you can see an equation built with some matchsticks arranged like this: 4 x 9 = 46. However, the big question of this puzzle is that this equation is not bringing the correct answer. Can you tell?

Therefore, now it's your turn to follow the guideline: move just two matchsticks and solve this challenge, leaving the correct equation throughout its structure. Did you get it? So now is the time to use your head and get in on the action.

Tips and the final answer

This challenge is a great way to test your observation skills and how sharp you are, and to push your wits even further. However, if you still cannot find the answer, let us help you.

The answer is very simple and involves basic math and creativity to move the matchsticks. So, to find the answer, just follow these guidelines:

  • First, move the toothpick from number 6 to 4, turning it into a 5;
  • Then, move a toothpick from the first 4 and place it on itself, but in another position, so it (together with the other toothpick) can also form a 5.

So the equation will turn: 5 x 9 = 45. If you couldn't understand, view these guidelines in the following image.
