How can you turn pic related into a true equation by only moving one matchstick?
take any of the vertical matchsticks and make a 'not equals' sign
XXII/VII != II
>>7917649
kidna clunky and needs rounding but well...
>>7917684
ah damn, genius is always relative
>>7917684
heh
captcha: 11249 cool point
an inequation is not an (true) equation
>>7917649
Pi isn't equal to 3.142
>>7917689
a mathematical statement can include impossibilities
>>7917694
Yeah, but then it wouldn't be an equation
>>7917697
this isnt an equation though. an equation implies/assumes at least 1 side is complete. OP gave a nonsensibility and asked for it to become a truth. the not equal conclusion is a true statement
>>7917710
>XIIII = 14
my sides
>>7917710
I was also thinking this, but I don't think that counts, there's either some stupid catch we haven't found yet, the not-equals thing was right, or it's just a troll question
>>7917716
Dumb pedophile, get out of this board. Weeaboos are a burden on society.

no fractions in roman numerals, it rounds up to 2, checkmate atheists

>II[]IV
>>7917684
I think that's what they were going for, but it fails if we're to take the "true equation" to heart rather than close approximation or relation.
>>7917762
This, I like.
>>7917716
But that tells us the solution, doesn't it?
XXIII to XXI|/ and you have 14/7=2
>>7917832
XXIV is 24
>>7917649
Mah Niggas
Move one from XXIII over to the right side and make PI by laying it on top of the ||
22/7 = pi
>>7918468
Its genious, but 22/7 does not equal pi.
the 14/7=2 sloution is correct.
X/III I think the is the same as 42/3.
Looks stuipid but its not wrong.
>>7917649
Pic related is the answer
14/7 can't be correct because that's not how you write 14
>>7918861
forgot pic
>>7918862
VVI ??? Thats supposed to be 11? lol
>>7918873
It's better than XIIII
>>7918867
Why would it be 21?
>>7918898
>>7918896
>>7918873
>>7918867
Alright then, I actually solved it this time
Take one stick from the first X and put it underneath
IX + III = 9+3 = 12
IV + II = 4 + 2 = 6
Also a single usage of XIIII on Wikipedia does not make it correct. I had to make edits to Wikipedia as an assignment in grade 9
What is the coefficient of x^24 in the differential of (x-a)(x-b)(x-c)...(x-z)
>>7919182
XIIII is correct though, your numbers are not
>>7919205
25 times the coefficient of x^25 in the original polynomial
>>7919124
Define slanted match.
>>7918468
Pi cannot be a rational number.
>>7919235
prove it lol
>>7919208
What is wrong with my numbers?
If you think IX is not 9 and IV is not 4 then you clearly know nothing about roman numerals
Actually, that's already been confirmed since you think XIIII is correct
>>7919240
Assume it can
It not tho.
[eqn]\square[/eqn]
>>7919246
there is no + between IX and III, so its not a number. There is plenty of room for other interpretations.
XIIII is correct.
>>7919278
>There is plenty of room for other interpretations
So? You can minus the I from the X or the XI, or the XII or the XIII and the total is the same.
>>7919278
Also I just saw the actual 14/7 post and he made the fucking division line longer
Now I know you're just baiting, kill yourself
>>7919246
You can't simply stick them together like that
You're probably american so you don't know any better but please stop embarrassing yourself
>>7919303
I am not baiting.
Its the best solution so far.
>>7917649
Take one of the matches from the dividing bar (what's it called?) and strike through the equal sign. done.
Take one from equal sign
>>7917649
are matchsticks operators ? numbers ?
how do you define matchsticks mathematically ?
where the fuck is there an equation
>>7917667
Shit, I came here to post that xdd
>>7917649
24/8=3
That is all of those numbers +1 (23/7=2)
>>7919478
>Take one from equal sign
that makes it an expression, you tard
>>7917649
u can't, since equation need variables.
u may turn it into a correct identity though...
>>7917748
this is disgusting
>>79197>>7917649
22/7 = π
Take one of the I's from the numerator, making XXII. Burn the V in the denominator, leaving II. XXII / II = 11.
>>7917649
Maybe XIV / VII = II ?
But I'm not good at math

[eqn] \frac{22}{7} \approx 3.14 ? [/eqn]
True.
[eqn] \frac{22}{7} = \pi ? [/eqn]
Fucking false.
Use a calculator, truncate it literally just 1 digit later.
[math] \pi \approx 3.141 [/math]
[math] \frac{22}{7} \approx 3.142 [/math]
[math] 3.142 \neq 3.141 [/math]
[math] \frac{22}{7} \neq \pi [/math]
holy fuck you guys are retarded
took me literally 30 seconds to find this solution
it took me longer to mock up this shitty MSPaint pic than to figure out what the answer is
12/6 = 2
>>7921390
that says 22/6 shit for brains
>>7921383
What part of "kinda clunky and needs rounding" did your autism misunderstand?
>>7917649
>Roman Numerals
>>7921383
you just used so much fucking latex and text just to say that 22/7 =/= pi
which has been stated in the thread numerous times already
calm ur autism bruhv
