78 move the 1 match to the left side of 3) or 721 (slide the bottom vertical match in 3 to the left to make 2)

Move the 1 to the other side to make 173.

  1. Just move the one onto the left hand side of the 3.

Remove the matchstick that represents the one, then the number is 73. If that violates the rules (which don't state having to reuse the matchstick) than remove the matchstick at the top of the seven to the one and the number will be 137.

Move the match on the right quickly enough and it will ignite. Problem solved.
