Viral Challenge: Move a match to settle the bill
The image that spreads Depor.com shows a grossly incorrect subtraction: “4 – 5 = 6”.
The goal is very simple: move a matchstick just to fix the equation.
Naturally, the toothpick that you remove must be placed in another number, so that in this way the mathematical operation makes sense.

What is a viral challenge and what is it about?
A viral challenge consists of spot a mistake, a person, an animal, an object, a word or a number in an image.

An optical illusion or puzzle is often fun, but it also has a real value for scientists.
By focusing on the brain, they help researchers shed light on the inner workings of the mind and how it reacts to the environment.
Scientists Kim Ransley and Alex O. Holcombe, from the University of Sydney, highlighted in 2017 the importance these challenges have for our understanding the brain
“Visual illusions show us that we have no direct access to reality,” wrote the pair in The Conversation.
“They may also provide insight into the mental processing provided by our experience of the visible world,” they concluded.
Other experts explain, deciphering the functioning of our mind in game contexts can help explain how we make decisions in complex situations and what we base them on.
In conclusion, games of every genre, from board games to guessing games, are known to constitute a mind learning method.
