There are three numbers. The first two are 2/3 and 3/4.
What does the third number have to be to make the average of all three be 2?
4 7/12
In order for the average of three numbers to be 2, they must all add up to 6. That gives you this equation:
Solve for n = 55/12, or 4 7/12.

By moving one of the following digits, make the equation correct.
62 – 63 = 1
26 – 63 = 16 = 2x2x2x2x2x2 = 64, ∴ 64 – 63 = 1)
26 – 63 = 16 = 2x2x2x2x2x2 = 64, ∴ 64 – 63 = 1)

There are two tricks to this one. The first is 1 × 0. But it’s mostly there as a distraction. Yes, 1 × 0 is 0, but that doesn’t affect anything else in the equation. The second, far trickier element is that the lines ending with 1 don’t have a + sign next to them. That means they should be combined with the following line.
Let’s put the equation all on one line, shall we?
1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 11 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 11 + 1 × 0 + 1 = ?
And the answer to that equation is 30.
