So this is probably a folding trickand I think I didn't get the instructions right.
maybe it is a trick about turning the box 180°, then the 1 needs to be a line instead of the proper number with a hook, the sices beome nines ,,,

You don't say how to get those two numbers
So
add the top two 6's to get 6+6 = 12
add the bottom two 6's to get 12
Remove the two 12's
Remaining 10+20+10 = 40

@eye-of-horus-42 removed their quoted postI am confused
I did use all four sixes; I added each pair to make 12 and then deducted two numbers ie - the two 12's to get 40.
64 less two twelves ie two pairs of 6's (24) = 64 less 24 = 40.
So I did not forget 4 other sixes
As no-one else is responding; maybe you could explain to a simpleton like me.

Sorry old man; I enjoyed our game of chess but our paths will not cross again.
