A little twist on the "move the matchsticks" puzzle.
I placed a bunch of matchsticks on my kitchen table and formed a number with them (6,111,100). I am asking, how can you move just two matchsticks, so that you get a number as close as possible to one billion (1,000,000,000)?
Remark: Thanks to Mr Pie for awarding a bounty to Deusovi. His answer was the intended one, but BreakingMyself provided a similar one first; that's the reason I gave him the checkmark.
Answer
A quick and dirty answer, hopefully this is it!:
As you can see, just two matches moved to create '1,000,000,000' :)
