Recently, I brushed up on a match question: 6008 These four numbers, move two matches, how to become the largest? stared at the numbers for a long time, and finally found a little bit of the doorway.

Let's see how each number can be changed. 6 move one can change 9, 0 move two can change 8, 8 itself is more matches, and dismantling two can still keep the number the same.

But it's not enough to change a single number, you have to make up more digits - after all, an extra digit can be much larger than a number.

Try to remove the top and bottom matches of the first 0, one to turn a 6 into a 9, and the other to add a 1 to the end. Became 9908? No, the value could be even higher. Split the middle two 0s and add them to the end, and it becomes 61108? The number of digits is too much, but it can be optimized.

Oh yes, the one in the lower left corner of the 6 can be moved to the right, and it can become a 9; The second 0 is split and erected as 1, and the last is put on. In this way, 91108? No, think about it again - take the two zeros in 6008, take a match and put them in front of the number!

In the end, the best one was: 911108.

Moving two matches, from four digits to six digits, multiplied dozens of times at once. This idea is like placing building blocks, not only do you have to change the parts, but you also have to think about how to build a longer shape.

Do you have a better spelling? This kind of question is especially suitable for competition at the dinner table, maybe the children in the family can come up with more amazing tricks, after all, their brains for playing matches are sometimes bigger than adults.
