That works unless he comes up with a rule that the 9's have to look alike. But you can do better.

Move the lower left vertical from the 0 to the middle horizontal position you get 9 as you did.?ÿ Move the lower left vertical from the 8 to the uper right vertical of the 5 and get 9.

It's not even a number. It's a three-letter abbreviation for the last person who wronged you.

Even better. A bit embarrassing for me to put the 1 in front instead of the end.

Ask for a log so you can cross a stream and you get a eclectic Golden Gate wannabe design proposal based on the construction plans of the Landfill project in Pascagoula Mississippi

I'll bet all of y'all that overcomplicated the third grade question posted work for a large company or municipal bureaucracy. ie; groomed to answer anything except the question when stuck in perpetual doubt. ?????ÿ

@flga-2

What is the biggest number that you can name? Can you easily name one that's even bigger?

If yer tryinƒ?? to confuse an idiot youƒ??ve succeeded. Thatƒ??s like a piece of paper with ƒ??see other sideƒ? written on both sides. Also any large numbers that arenƒ??t associated with surveying are automatically converted into todayƒ??s dollars which in my world cease at 99 million. ?????ÿ
