A sum built out of matchsticks that does not add up. Move exactly one match and it does. That is the whole game — and the moment you finally see it, it looks obvious. 6 + 4 = 4 is wrong. Lift one match off the six, lay it back down, and suddenly it reads 0 + 4 = 4. No trial and error, no luck: just the small click in your head when the answer arrives.
