Better solution

Puzzle 2 in the example puzzles graphic has a better solution: move one of the Is from "II" to complete a square-root sign, forming the equation √1 = 1. 86.140.175.214 (talk) 00:19, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, mixing arabic and roman numerals is a complete cheat – two (ii) does not equal eleven (11). SpinningSpark 14:35, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

While I agree that the puzzle is unfair (the solution with a square root symbol has the symbol badly shaped), it is a fairly common matchstick puzzle. cmɢʟee⎆τaʟκ 12:56, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
