Considering the usual flow of information here, in the lounge, I think we should petition for a separate forum titled per your post.

This one have been on my phone for almost 2 years (1 year and 10 months to be exact). And I haven't solve this. (My friends told me that this one is easy unlike some Brain Twisters they've given me before.)
So here it goes..

By moving one of the following digits, make the equation correct
62-63=1

I tried googling it. (but maybe, I didn't search thoroughly cause I didn't find any related results.)

Not sure what you mean with digits, but if you move one of the bars of the equal sign under the minus sign, you get 62=63-1.

Edit: 2⁶-63=1

So why did you put it ABOVE the minus sign... Poke tongue | ;-P

that part also confused me. He only said digits not the sign.

Easy: think "moving a digit":
62 => 2⁶
Then it's

2x2x2x2x2x2 - 63 = 1

64 - 63 = 1

Karen Mitchelle3-Feb-14 22:10

now, that makes sense. Laugh | :laugh:

Exactly my thought.

Statements starting with the phrase 'I've been thinking' never ends in your favor... Specially when it's from your boss or your wife. Big Grin | :-D

Boss is easy: I found that a thoughtful frown, a few minutes of obvious cogitation, and the phrase "Are you sure you want to do that?" discouraged them quite well. Particularly if the first time they say "yes" it accidentally turns into an unmitigated disaster... Wink | ;)

The wife, however... Sigh | :sigh:

62 = 63 - 1

Rage3-Feb-14 22:23

I kind of like your rational thinking.
Now do not forget that 63 = 62 : if a = 63 and b = 62,

a - b = 1
(a-b)*(a-b)=(a-b)
(a-b)*(a-b)-(a-b)=0
(a-b-1)*(a-b)=0
(a-b)=0
a=b, hence 63=62.
