The one digit odd numbers 1,3,5,7,9 add up to 25, while the one digit even numbers add up to 0,2,4,6,8 add up to 20.
Can you arrange the numbers in such a way that the odd numbers and the even numbers have the same value? You can use +, -, / and *. You can also combine digits to make multi-digit numbers.
I'm posting one puzzle, riddle, math, or statistical problem a day. Try to answer each one and post your answers in the comments section. I'll post the answer the next day. Even if you have the same answer as someone else, feel free to put up your answer, too!

79 + 5 + 1/3 = 84 + 2/6 + 0
ReplyDeleteVery clever, amigo.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
ReplyDeleteSomething is really slowing down the site today. I wonder what's going on?
It can be simpler...
ReplyDelete0-2+4+6+8 = 1+3+5-7+9 = 18
Am I missing something?
ReplyDelete0 - 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 = 16
1 + 3 + 5 - 7 + 9 = 11
6+0+24/8=9-7-1+5+3
