5$\begingroup$ Did you get this from somewhere? We require attribution for puzzles you didn't make yourself. $\endgroup$– Parcly TaxelCommented Sep 24, 2021 at 10:02

1$\begingroup$ Unfortunately this is getting downvoted. I think the reason is, you took a puzzle that is designed for oral delivery, and tried to convert it to text. This approach usually works, but it doesn't in this particular case. Keep contributing - Don't let the downvotes discourage you. $\endgroup$– Chris CudmoreCommented Sep 24, 2021 at 16:34

$\begingroup$ This made sense to me. I thought it was a clever use of homophones. Seems the main issue is whether it is original or improperly attributed. $\endgroup$– AmozCommented Sep 24, 2021 at 16:57

This is a little out-of-the-way here, and requires phonetical matching, but
if you put a horizontal line on top of the first 1 to make it a T, you get "TOO 100", which could be read as "two hundred".

3$\begingroup$ But the question asks for "...make this into 200... " and 200 is not the same as "T00 100" $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 24, 2021 at 16:14

1$\begingroup$ @ChrisCudmore I agree that it is a weak puzzle/answer, but claiming that it's a problem because it's "not the same" kind of nullifies anything that's built on homophones or puns. $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 24, 2021 at 18:54
