The Kick Inside

Well, i thought of
8/004=2
I think one answer can be this:
3 middle digits on the left: 0I0
So: 80/40=2, the one is now a division sign and the second 0 go to the right of the 4, the other 0 remains in its original position.
8÷4=2
8 DIVIDED BY 4 = 2
‘010′ MUST BE TURNED ON ITS HEAD TO GIVE A DIVISION SIGN! REMINDED ME OF THE HORSE & RIDER PUZZLE…
arrange the 0 | and 0 into the “divides” symbol:
0
–
0
And you get:
8 (divides symbol) 4 = 2
08/04=2
8l004=2 (Using the l as a division sign)
you mean like 8/004=2?
I’m not sure how to interpret this puzzle.
Is the | a 1 or a divisor symbol?
If it’s a 1 then by asking us to rearrange the three digits do we leave them on the left side between the 8 and 4 or can we move them anywhere?
If it’s a divisor symbol i guess the answer is 8|004=2.
In 8O|O4, take the O|O. Rotate the line sideways and situate the circles above and below it to form an obelus.
8 ÷ 4 = 2
Move the second zero and tilt the 1.
80/40=2
80|40 = 2
just flip them all 90 degrees, make ti a division sign. 8 divided by 4 is 2
this took me forever. turn the 3 numbers 90 degrees clockwise or counter clockwise to make a division sign.
8 divided by 4 = 2
8%4=2
8 division sign 4 = 2
I’d say:
8%4=2
You could also flip the three middle digits by 90 degrees to make a “divided by” symbol.
010 becomes:
0
——-
0
8 “divided by” 4 = 2
Rotate the middle three digits 90 degrees:
8 [division sign] 4 = 2
Is the 010 supposed to be turned 90 degrees to make it look like a division sign?
80/40 -> easy
make the 101 into a divide by sign so you have 8/4=2.
8 / 4 * 1 = 2
Just rotate the digits 90 degrees, and you will get an obelius (÷). 8÷4=2
8/004
80/40 = 2
couple different ways to get the answer to this lateral thinking problem, as shown above.
8/004 = 2
“8/004 = 2″ ? I dont like that answer. The question involved ‘rearranging’ the digits. For one thing “/” is not a digit. Another - rearanging a “1″ whether moving it or turning does not change what it is. A lying down or slanted “1″ is still a “1″. This problem lacks elegans if this is the intended answer.
Amoxus, here’s what would seem to be the intended answer, but with the 2 Os instead of these 2 dots helping to form a division line:
8÷4=2
Hi, it will be 8 * 1 /4=2
so 2 mising characters are * and /
