What is the question? The way you have it phrased there is no answer- you've simply added a condition that rejects any correct answer.

I'm moving this to the brain teasers forum, then, since it is not a question on mathematics.

I'm afraid this isn't how the forums work. If you want someone to help you with a problem, you will need to wait until they come and find your post and, if they decide to, to post a comment. Bumping your thread like this will not be tolerated.

Is this a homework question or something?
I can think of one answer: what is another way of representing the number 9?

180 degrees? Spin it round and it's a six. Seems a bit silly, but without using a negative it's all I can think of.
edit- yeah, S. d'oh

And next time you have a homework question, no matter how odd, please use the appropriate forum.
