11. The problems with 2 of the same shape,
and problems with only one shape,
The problems with two alike shapes means that, since they have to be
the same number, there is no room for modification, or increasing the
value of one shape and subtracting the same transformation from the
other.
With problems #6, #8 and #9, the singular shapes work as a variable in
an expression, with usually only one making the identity true.
