If you can solve this, I'll give you a high five :D and yes, I know the answer...
You have toothpicks that have been lain out on a table. It shows:
Vll + l = ll
This does not equal. How can you move one toothpick and make it equal? And no, you can't do inequalities =p

VII - I = VI
Take the vertical toothpick out of + sign and make V on other side.

Take the v apart so it'll b III+I=II move the part ov the v u took in front of the III so it'll be -III+I=II true statement

-3 + 1 is -2 not 2

Oh my bad, I though you meant move one toothpick to other side or something..............
Move one of the v toothpicks so it shows
III + I = IV

V is made up of 2 toothpicks, sorry. Try again :-D

I got it
VII - V = II
Shift the vertical toothpick in + a little to the right to make a V
V is made up of 2 toothpicks, sorry. Try again :-D
Yeah. I'm moving one of the toothpicks to another I to make a V

xii - i = 11
Break all the tooth picks so they you get something like this: ----=----

haha
Of its a trick question it's usually, it's not possible so that's my guess!! :p

Since the V is made of two toothpicks, you take ONE of them and move it on the other side, connecting it with the II. It should be a result like this:
/|| + | = ||/
So, the first number kinda looks like the third roman numeral, and the last number looks like the fourth roman numeral :P

move the tooth pick that keeps the plus sign from being a minus. take that tooth pick and place it diagnolly across the equals sign to make it a not equal to sign. thus you have VII - I (is not equal to) II.
EDIT: i didnt cheat either. im assuming this is from somewhere online.

Er... None if you are close...sorry. Think about more operations in math. (Warning) May include something more than addition and subtraction. Good luck!

Why do you think he does his hair like that... Do you think people say to him "Hey man! Nice hair!"

Square root of 1 +1 = 2
Congratulations my friend! You have won! High five!
So answer was to move one of the l from Vll and make it a square root symbol.

U can't move one to make it equal;)
Lol, i don't see how that's any more right than some of the other answers. But it was your question :)

That's no different than changing the + to - and using that piece to change the answer to VI.

I know right thers to answers to this question
Vll + l = ll
I have the fu*king solution now:
Vll + l = ll
-l -l
Vll=ll l
tilt one on the right side and you should get O
JK you should get:
Vll=Vll

Actually its one step in just showing the complex and cool process

Ow my hands are full of splinter... no high fives for you :-D
Well the simplest solution is to tilt them all and move one over to the other side ____ _____ ____= ____ _____ ____
I've seen at least three solutions that only require moving one toothpick
I want my hi five Noodleleg. Or else >:(
