Change the Total

by Serhiy Grabarchuk Jr.

Eleven matchsticks are arranged into two digits as shown above. The combination of these digits produces three numbers as a result: 6, 3, and 63. Their total is 72 (6+3+63).

Can you move one matchstick to another position in order to obtain a similar combination of two digits which in turn produces three numbers adding up to 73?

To move a matchstick, drag it. To rotate a matchstick, click it.
