  You can only move one digit. You may not move the mathematical symbols.

  Keep trying.

  You are correct, Vandal.

  2^6 – 63 = 1 or 2 (superscript)6 – 63 = 1 is another common way to explain the equation. On this site, the caret works just fine.

  (In other words, 2x2x2x2x2x2 equals 64)

  You’re today’s winner.
