This is a tough one!! First, arrange four nickels and three pennies as in the illustration below. The challenge is to change the current arrangement of the coins from the way you have them now N-P-N-P-N-P-N to N-N-N-N-P-P-P. However, to accomplish this, you must move 2 adjacent coins of different values on each turn. The 2 coins must be moved as a pair, and must always be placed so they touch some other coin (s) in the row. Good luck!!
