BMAD Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Six coins make the Triangle Man shown in the illustration. The coins form three identical equilateral triangles as shown with the dotted lines. Rearrange the coins into another shape with three equilateral triangles, each with a different size. You may only move one coin at a time so that in its new position it touches at least two other coins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
