Add just one match: a difficult puzzle for people with high IQs

Match puzzles develop not only logic but also imaginative thinking, as they force you to simultaneously count and think about how to change the image to get the right answer. They are considered to be one of the most difficult and interesting among similar task games.

OBOZ.UA publishes a new such task. To solve it, you need to correct the equation 9-0=3 by adding just one match.

These puzzles have no time limits, because their point is to think carefully about all possible mathematical and visual solutions and find the only correct one among them. This helps to develop analytical thinking, which is notoriously slow.

This particular task is of medium difficulty, although at first glance it looks very difficult. To give the right answer, you'll need to think carefully about what hidden rule will give you the key to solving the problem.

Such games rely on knowledge of basic arithmetic. The need to find a visual solution complicates everything. So take a close look at the picture and think about how you can add just one match to it to make the incorrect equation 9-0=3 correct. Actually, the answer is very simple arithmetically, but it is important to rely on your ability to work with visuals to find the right solution.

If you still can't figure out the puzzle, we've provided a solution below. To fix the equation, you need to turn the three after the = sign into a nine with just one match.
