  • Help Me With This Puzzle!

    Ok, I need HELP with this puzzle. I'm usually pretty good at these things, but I've been stuck on this one! A friend from work gave me this to figure out, and no luck.
    Here it is:

    By drawing only 1 line, make this equal 150

    0 0
    0 0
    _____
    1 5 0

    The line is supposed to me closer to the zeros.
    Now that I saved this, I had to go back and edit it. It's not saving the same way I'm trying to make it. Both of the zeros are supposed to be right ontop of the 5 and the 0. No numbers are supposed to be ontop of the 1. Now I've confused all of you haven't I?? I wont be offended if no one replies to this stupid attempt of a thread!

    A screenshot of the original layout of the problem would solve these inaccuracies

            A couple of crummy suggestions.........
            1. The line could go from the right side of the top left zero to the left of the bottom left zero to kind of form a 9 and a 6 which would give you 90 and 60 which makes 150.
            or
            2. use the line to cross out the 1 and the 5.

            I hope you post the solution when you get it.

                    He also suggested crossing out the "1" and "5", which IMO, would be an even more clever solution

                              Thanks for all who figured out the puzzle! That was the answer when joining the 0's together making a 6 and a 9!
