Hello friends! The Puzzler is taking a short break (for real!), but we'll be back in with more historic, folkloric, and occasionally sophomoric puzzlers!
Now, without further ado, the most recent puzzler!
Another Matchstick Puzzler
Puzzler time!
This one came in from a dear friend who also listened to the show for many years.
Here it is.
This is another matchstick puzzler. So gather up whatever you used the first few times.
Using matchsticks, write the following Arabic numbers.
One, and then with two matchsticks make a plus sign, plus one plus eleven.
So 1 + 1 + 11.
No equals sign. Just 1 + 1 + 11.
Now the puzzler is this.
By moving only one matchstick, make this equal 130.
