   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 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

   8l004=2 (Using the l as a division sign)

   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

    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 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

    couple different ways to get the answer to this lateral thinking problem, as shown above.

    “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
