Brain Game: The Elevens Puzzle
First, examine the equation below.
Â
Obviously, this equation is false. There are a few ways we could alter the equation to make it true, such as removing the + from the left side and the × from the right side to make both sides read 1111. This maneuver would NOT solve today's Brain Game, however. Too easy. Your goal:
Find a way to insert the SAME SINGLE MARK to the SAME SPOT
on both sides of the equation in order to make it true.
ONEÂ SOLUTION:
Adding a decimal point between the first two digits on each side of the equation would make it read: 1.1 + 11 = 1.1 × 11, which would be true since both sides would equal 12.1
