Re: What should be the question?

To zoehatestomperston: I think Zach was reacting to your "woteva" statement, and then it got out of hand. Why don't you start again, and tell us something about yourself, so that we can get to know you better.

To ckvijayakumar: How can you arrange 6 coins in 2 rows such that there are 4 coins in each row - Can the rows bend a little?

Re: What should be the question?

Excellent!

I am all grown up, and I spend my spare time working on this website (unless I am with my friends, or watching TV, or going to the beach, or the river, or going to a concert, or ... well, you get the idea)

Re: What should be the question?

I think possibly there would have to be 'bent' rows in the coin problem, otherwise it would be impossible, but that's just me.

Re: What should be the question?

The best I can think is either:

1  2 3  4
O O O O O O
      1  2  3  4

In other words, just decide where you want a row - pretty lame, really, or bendy rows:

    O  O
O           O 
    O  O

Or:

O O O O
O
O

A 3-in-a-row and a 4-in-a-row (not right)

1 2  3  4
O O O O
1 O O  4
   2  3

1  2 3  4
O O O O
O O  3 4
1  2

Or something like these, with one bendy row and one straight.

I'm sure one of those must work!
