By taking away one match, you can spell out the name of a sport.
Which sport is it?
You won't be able to find the answer if you only think in terms of numbers
Try reading the numbers as letter.
If you're trying to read them as letters, it would be best to turn them around.
If you turn the whole thing upside down, you end up with 'gOLE'.
Now just remove one match to spell out the name of a sport.
Remove one match from the letter 'E' to turn it into a different letter.
The answer is 'GOLF'.
