MATCH STICK PUZZLE

Arrange seven matches into the equation shown in the illustration. It can be seen the equation itself is not correct.

• Puzzle 1. Move one match to a new position in order to make this equation correct.

• Puzzle 2. Move three matches to new positions to get a correct equation. This puzzle can be solved in two different ways.

• Puzzle 3*. Move two matches to new positions to get a correct equation.

In all three puzzles it is not allowed to break the matches and an equation sign has to remain in the final expression.
