1973 - Easy puzzle

Amanda wanted another puzzle. Here's a ten penny puzzle. Take ten pennies and make a triangle like this.


See how the triangle is facing up? Well the trick is to make the triangle face down by moving only three pennies. It's easier than it seems. Welcome to Monday. The Solution is in the comments.

So here's the solution. Take 1 and move it down under 8 and 9. Then take 7 and move it next to 2. Take 10 and move it next to 3. All done.

Angel - This is an old puzzle. Remember it. You will be quizzed on again in 20 years.

Jay - I know what you mean.

Elvis - So you had an actual good start to Monday!

The puzzle was good. Monday is Monday.

I think that made my brain hurt. Now that I read how to do it, I feel dumb. Oh well....I'm ok with that.

Mike said...

Duck - Well, Monday is Monday until you retire and then Monday is Saturday. Every day is Saturday when you're retired. But you still have to acknowledge what the non-retired are going through.

Lizbeth - I know. It's too simple when you see how to do it.

Finally a puzzle that didn't take me a ridiculously long time! Thanks Mike!

Amanda - Plus they're and easy post for me. Thanks for asking.

Knight - Sounds like you hang in there on the hard puzzles. Mental gymnastics are good.
