What will you add with 9 to make it six?

[Ephratah7]

please help me!

"what will you add with 9 to make it six? No negative, please."

What's the answer?

 

[HallsofIvy]

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?

 

[Kurdt]

The letter S.

yah, homework

 

[matthyaouw]

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

 

[cristo]

Kurdt's answer was the one I was thinking of.

 

[Kurdt]

Oops. Kind of gave that away didn't I.

 

[Ephratah7]

The letter S.

yah, 9=IX

but..how about "S"?
What's with "S"?

Are you being serious? Look back and recap: what was the question? How does S answer the question?

 

[Ephratah7]

yeah, i get it na ! thanks!

 

[Kurdt]
