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 ,,,

"remove two numbers"

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

It's not you forgot the others 4 sixes. You must add all the numbers 4 sixes =24 +2 tens+20+ 20=64 now remove two numbers so the rest remaining numbers =40. I hope that now you got it.

I 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.

Look 4 sixes equals 24 plus 2 tens equals 20 plus 20 equals 64. Now remove only two numbers so the rest of the numbers on added equal 40 that's it....

OK

I thought I was being clever - obviously not

Why doesn't the genious care to explain as no-one else seems interested in your puzzle

No need to shout - at least I gave it a shot - no-one else bothered with your stupid trick question

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

From four sixes remove one therefore three sixes =18 remove 0 remains 2, 18+2=20+the 2 tens which 20+20 = 40. i hope this is clear.
