II = VI

Move one I to end up with both sides equal.
Ya ain't allowed to tinker with the = sign!

2 solutions.

move an I from the left side and put it over the I on the right side to get

I=sqrt I

Correct.

2nd solution anyone?

How about, I = I V I, where V is the logical OR operator.

Not mine Bob; but shrewd!
However, as logical operator, doesn't the "V"
have a horizontal line underneath?
V

Not that I recall seeing, Denis. Take a look here: Wikipedia - Logical Connective.

But now I will be looking for another solution.

Worry not Soot; solution is tricky, but quite simple:
no strange characters/representations involved.

Hint: the "move" is on right side only, so II = ?

VI becomes XI which is eleven
II is also eleven

Hi Denis, the underline indicates an exclusive OR rather than a "normal" OR. I may have actually seen that back in my college days but don't remember.

Manxman, how do you do that?

Yep; II = XI was what I was looking for.
