put the line diagonally though the equal sign.
4+5+6 is not equal to 451! |

That also works.
It looks like there are TWO solutions!!! 4+5+6≠451 and 445+6=451 Both of these statements are True. |

914 Rick is correct!!!!
Karl, as the sentence says.....add one straight line to make this EQUATION true....... If you negate the equal sign you now make this a statement and not an equation......Kinda the evil trick to the whole thing...... |

One could ALSO argue the following...
Your instructions said to "Add one straight line to this equation to make it true" As a matter if semantics, you did not state to make it a true equation. I did make the equation true... I made it a true statement. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

I'll have to agree with Karl, even though he's a rambling wreck.
I just kept thinking I was going to go crazy trying to find a place to hide the pluses. M |
