[klondike]

Left long enough.

5 + 3 = 8

[Scrumpy]

That was easy !!! . I didn't look because I thought it would be difficult.. Story of my life I suppose.

[crabbyob]

well done Mike..... naughty klondike, you just couldnt wait..
and if yer no gonna try scrumps i wont do any more....

[Scrumpy]

I do try.. I really do.. But I am not too clever when it comes to matchstick puzzles.. x

[crabbyob]

puzzles are not about being clever, else how could i find them..

[Scrumpy]

Don't argue.. I'm cleverer then you. 

[crabbyob]

as the Bishop said to the actress 'whose measuring?'

[klondike]

You didn't waste your time on that puzzle for starters 

I actually started with my usual BS solution which was to move the vertical match from + and slope it across the = to make 5 - 9 not equal 9 when the obvious answer just hit me in the face so I posted that instead.

[crabbyob]

sigh.... do you mind we were in conversation...tut.... clever clogs.... i bet Mike beat you, but hes too much a gent to 'push in'''
