5008 Matchstick Puzzle problem

Hello there Brainliacs! Today, I've got for you a typical matchstick puzzle. It's a little bit tricky and can be confusing, so make sure you're thinking it through :) 

Look at the attached picture and answer :: 
What is the highest number you can create by moving only 2 matchsticks? 

Hint :: You HAVE TO move the matches, you cannot just remove them from the picture. Their total amount needs to stay the same.

Answer 1

Hey!

Kudos to you for asking this riddle! Very nice riddle!

Correct answer- 511108
Explaination- If we remove the top and the bottom matchstick from second number of 5008 , that is 0 and place the removed 2 matchstick in middle of 511 and 08, then the answer we will get is 511108.

Maybe, it can be wrong as well, do tell if it's wrong :)

Answer 2

Heya!
This is a really interesting riddle :)
Thanks for asking!

The solution goes like this :-

• The number is 5008 , from the first 0 , remove the upper and the lower matchstick

• According to Question we can remove only 2 matchsticks so this is apt.

• Now place both the matchsticks besides the 5 1 1 in such a Matter that one more 1 is created.

• You're done! So the biggest numeral formed will be 511108


Extra:-
• According to me , the second largest numeral will be 8008 .
By removing two matchsticks from 5 and placing them parallel.

Hope this helps!
