Hehe this is fun. Just saw this online.

Solution if you give up.

545+5=550 (add the line to the plus sign to make it a 4).

I thought about making the 5s into 8s. Didn't think about the plus sign. Oops.

To be fair, that would also be a correct answer.

Either way of writing 4 would still work for the riddle. You either link the left and top points of the plus sign or just add a vertical line to the left-most point of the plus sign.

I thought so, too.

That's right. It depends how you write. Besides, the vertical line of the + needs to be moved up and to the right, so it's not just adding a line.

It works alot better drawn then using set numbers and plus signs from typing. With the + going as high as the numbers (so bigger +'s), when you add the vertical line (either diagonal or straight up from the left of the + sign). It looks like a normal written 4 either way (because the middle line can pass through the vertical line when drawing a 4.

As far as making it true by adding a / again that would have to be written out and it would interconnect if you did (so wouldn't really look right as it would just bi-sect one = sign, not split two of them). Still that is an interesting alternative method, even if i'm not sure it making an UNTRUE statement counts as making a statement true.

Adding a line at an angle doesn't make it not a line. Wtf are you talking about? lol

He meant that the vertical line of the + had to be moved to the right, but a 4 can have the line in the middle when written, so it doesn't. But he was basically saying you had to move two lines.
