How do you get:

19 - 1 = 20

On you go... you'll laugh when you hear the solution.

This is one of those things where you move the signs and stuff, isn't it?

You probably end up with something along the lines of "09=11-2"

I'm just too smart for my own good....

caus the 19 was already a minus and the 1 is actually (-1)

so it all makes -19-(-1) =20 there sorted
