It is a bit of a "bar" trick, to be sure, but I did say I accepted your solution. Be happy you came up with something original! Another possible unique solution is to change it to read 64=64 (if you don't care about spacing).
The puzzle reminded me of another matchstick problem:
Using 6 unbroken matchsticks of the same length, create 4 equilateral triangles.
