0 The best i can come up with is 02br

00 63=62+1 02br
02br
00 Or how about 2^6 - 63=1 0-

0 Hi, 02br
00If I were asked this at a job interview, I'd begin by suggesting it's not a well-worded question and asking for clarification. 02br
02br
00'62' is a number that has two digits, '6' and '2'. So can I move the number '62', or just one of its digits? 02br
02br
00Secondly, 'just' means 'only'. If I 'just have to move one digit', it sou

0 just move the 63 to the right of the equals sign.... 02br
02br
00the positive 63 then becomes a negative 63 (math law, so dont argue) 02br
02br
00then 62 = 1 - 63 which is correct 02br
02br
00edit.. 02br
02br
00wait, no its not, that give -62... ok um... eat the entire exam paper, then tell him/her that you didnt g

0 This one has got me really stumped. 02br
02br
00 If the original sum was 02br
00 62 - 63 = 1 then it would be easily solvable. 02br
02br
00 Just move the first 6 to the right of the 2 (and up a bit) to give to the power of. 02br
02br
02br
00 So you would have 2^6 - 63 = 1 02

0 I don't think this qualifies as 'moving a digit', but it does consititute only one movement: 02br
02br
00Take away the vertical bar from the plus sign and move it in front of the 1 as a minus sign. 02br
02br
0062 - 63 = - 1 02br
02br
02br
00(I wonder if the original riddle is accurately quoted?) 0-

0 Nice one davkett , as you say not sure if it qualifies as a digit 02br

00Funny ID you have. 02br
02br
00I have a great toothpick puzzle, but it's visual and I don't know how to post a picture on this site. You seem pretty accomplished. I wonder if you know it already, and if not, how long it would take you to solve. 02br

00It's not about equations. 0-
