Use one straight line, horizontal, vertical or diagonal to make this statement valid:
5 + 5 + 5 = 550
I rule out the obvious one: a diagonal strike across the '=' changes the equation showing that the sides are not equal which of course is valid.
There are at least 3 other possible solutions I know of.

You have 3???? I can't even come up with one tsk tsk
Ok, here is what I got
1) change the first + to 4:
545+5=550
2) change the second + to 4
5+545=550
3) change the = to "less than or equal to" sign
and you already ruled out the last one, do you have more solutions?
I did not rule that one out. I ruled out the "not equal" which I unfortunately can't type using the keyboard only. I am so used to mathematical editors ;)
Congratulations Tanny!
Gee Whiz...I'm gonna have to take in my daily dose of caffeine and come back here a little later...like maybe when my brilliant son gets up! lol!!
Put a diagnal line through the = and it means NOT equal
