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, ...

There are 10 statements written on a piece of paper: 1. At least one of statements 9 and 10 is true. 2. This either is the first true or the first false statement. 3. There are three consecutive statements, which are false. 4. The difference between the numbers of the last true and the first true statement divides the number, that is to be found. 5. The sum of the numbers of the true statements is the number, that is to be found. 6. This is not the last true statement. 7. The number of each true statement divides the number, that is to be found. 8. The number that is to be found is the percentage of true statements. 9. The number of divisors of the number, that is to be found, (apart from 1 and itself) is greater than the sum of the numbers of the true statements. 10. There are no three consecutive true statements. Find the minimal possible number?
