how about if you simply subtract 76?
that is what i thought
yea....subtracting from 76 is just as easy too. I agree with the above statement. Or you can take -76+77=1.

how about 77 divided by 77
I did 77 - 77 too. I guess that there are many different ways.
sorry erin... 77 - 77 is 0... not 1
i would have just subtracted 76
I dont think that question was clear enough, there are to many answers
I agree. There are way to many answers.
yeah, I agree with the two comments above. think of another clue to add in the teaser
The question is too vague...you should have said "using one character on your keyboard" or something like that
i think it's fairly straight forward - it says "just adding one line" - just because people choose to ignore this and add a line *and* some numbers doesn't mean that the teasers wrong, it means that people aren't reading it correctly
I agree with sweetime.I think people are just not reading the question. To the suggestions that 77-76 works, how would you make "-76" with just one line.
easy
Easy, but good.
