📌 The Answer and Solutions
Depending on how creative you want to get with your layout, there are actually a few brilliant ways to solve this challenge by shifting only one stick:
Solution 1: Turn it into the number 5 (The Traditional Route)
Take the top-right vertical stick of the number 3.
Move it over to the top-left vertical position.
This completely changes the shape, instantly leaving you with the number 5, which is obviously greater than 3!
Solution 2: Turn it into the number 9 (The Digital Variant)
Take the bottom-left-facing horizontal stick (the very bottom base).
Move it up to close the gap on the upper left side, creating a top loop.
This leaves you with a distinct, digital-style number 9, pushing your value even higher.
