“Move the top and bottom matches on the 0 next to the 8. I will repeat it again. Move the top and bottom match on the 0 right next to the number 8 into a vertical line. So the two matches make a vertical line that resembles the number one. And with the 0 losing its bottom and top matches, it will make the zero look like the number 11. So 51181 is the answer but I'm sure there is another answer too!” posted an individual.
