Look at the number 902. Now make it larger by moving only two matchsticks. That's the whole challenge.
Solution:
Most people guess 903 right away. Makes sense — it's one more than 902. But that's not how matchsticks work. You can't just add a number. You have to physically move two sticks from somewhere else.
The answer is 908. Take the two sticks from the bottom of the 2 and move them to close the top and middle — turning the 2 into an 8. No extra sticks. No cheating. Just two moves.
908 is larger than 902. Puzzle solved.
