- whatshisface 5y agoThe trick for me was to move one triangle around over the other until only three coins didn't overlap.
- cardanome 5y agoI think am misunderstanding the problem because I have convinced myself that it can not have a valid solution. I had one fake AHA moment and but then it was gone again. Not sure what that says about me. Edit and spoiler warning: Looked up the solution and I think the picture is misleading. It implies that pyramid staying on same height.
- isp 5y agoThe background of paper with lines is very misleading - because it implies that translation of the pyramid is forbidden, when this translation is the key.
- mental1896 5y agoI agree, although it's not the lines for me but the boundary of the page itself.

- odonnellryan 5y agoThere is always some kind of consideration like that for these types of trick problems.
- BiteCode_dev 5y agoIt's a good insight for any transformation really, including change in code: look at what's in common between the desired outcome and the current situation to have an idea how how much work to do.
- odonnellryan 5y agoI feel like I'm broken. I got the problem fairly quickly but had no aha moment!
