Solve this equation by moving just one stick.

There are four different correct ways to do it.
Here's one way - move the yellow vertical stick from the + to make an 8 out of the 6. [ 8-4=4]

2nd way - move the blue vertical stick on the 6 and make it horizontal on the 2nd 4. [ 5 +4 = 9 ]

3rd way - move green horizontal stick on the 6 and make the 6 a 0 [ 0 + 4 =4 ]

How long did ya'll stare at that?
It took me a bit. I didn't have the answer btw when I posted it. The .jpg came up when I was searching for something else, it intrigued me so I cut and pasted it.

After I did.... it took a few minutes. My conclusion: There's no 3 number combination of odd numbers that can add up to an even number. Duh on me.
Looks like the answer is "no"...It can't be solved. A f'ing IQ test.

(I bet Tom McGinness would have got this one pretty quick had he seen it.) :D
Took me a few.
And hell.... I might still be wrong.
I don't think so though.
