That's it Graeme. Correct the 56E by adding two matches (E + ii = 8).

Sorry LM, couldn't grant it to you although technically it is a 56 derivative, but…

Over to Graeme!

Sure. One of them. Bought the other day a Mensa test book and flunked in more than half of the questions. They are like: "Arrange five matches into the form of letter E and add two matches. Which number do you get?"

And more clues by way of directing all the way towards the correct one and away from the incorrect (I did).

Have to go to see a dentist now, so I will get my instant punishment.
