Answer / guest
For a triangle with two row it is one, for a triangle with
three rows it is two, for a triangle
with four rows it is three.
For a traingle with five rows is it four?
It takes 5 moves to make the triangle with 5 rows point the
other way.
0 = a coin that has not been moved.
X = the old position of the moved coin
8 = the new position of the moved coin.
________X
_______X X
____8 0 0 0 8
_____0 0 0 0
____X 0 0 0 X
_______8 8
________8
For traingle of any number of rows, the optimal number of
moves can be achieved by moving the
vertically symmetrical coins i.e. by moving same number of
coins from bottom left and right, and
remaining coins from the top.
For a triangle with an odd number of rows, the total moves
require are :
(N2/4) - (N-4) Where N = 4, 6, 8, 10, ...
For a triangle with even number of rows, the total moves
require are :
((N2-1)/4) - (N-4) Where N = 5, 7, 9, 11, ...

On the shelf you have 10 identical bottles of identical pills (let?s say there?s a hundred pills in each bottle). However, one of those 10 bottles contains cheap knockoff pills. The only way to differentiate fake pills from real pills is the weight - while real pills weigh 1 g each, the knockoff pills are only 0.9 g. You have one scale that shows the exact weight (down to the mg) of whatever is weighed. How can you tell which bottle contains fake pills with just 1 weighing?
