Question 176007: Hi guys and gals!
How can 1 1 1 = 6 ?
I am completely stumped on the first part of a riddle I'm sure some of you know about. Commonly called "The 6 Riddle", it states that all you do is insert the appropriate math symbol between the numbers to equal six. Ex:
1 1 1 = 6
2 2 2 = 6
3 3 3 = 6 etc. all the way to 9 9 9 = 6
I cannot figure out the first set of numbers, so I am asking anyone to help me out.
