Are You a Genius? Coin Puzzle
A coin puzzle with a difference. You get to see the puzzle and the solution, but it's still hard to solve.

Re: Are You a Genius? Coin Puzzle
Okey dokey, the guy does it in five moves, I can do it in three, so what is that supposed to mean?

Re: Are You a Genius? Coin Puzzle
What it means is that I wasn't paying attention. I was supposed move a big and small coin every time, but what I did was make one move with two of the big coins.

Sorry, never mind, nothing to see here...

Re: Are You a Genius? Coin Puzzle
I understand the rules to mean that you have to move coins next to each other...? I think I did the same thing you did.

Re: Are You a Genius? Coin Puzzle
Yeah, I misunderstood. Whoops! He goes over the rules too quickly, making the test how quickly you can memorize a solution. That's not intelligence--that's memory.

Re: Are You a Genius? Coin Puzzle
It took me 1:22 after he showed it the first time. I didnt do it exactly the same way he did it, but I still got it following all his rules in the alloted time. I didnt really find it that hard, just some trial and error. The real key is moving the middle around to the ends sometimes. He seems a bit smug that he can do it so quickly but obviously after you memorize it its incredibly easy.

Re: Are You a Genius? Coin Puzzle
after four tries he starts wrestling with words like he's trying to be politically correct, like being average or less than average in intelligence were homosexuality or being "african american". what a strange little amateur intelligence tester of a man. i find it funny how the people who test and study intelligence in a statistical capacity the most intensely tend to be the most mediocre among their peers. it's like measuring everyone else's dick because you're obsessed with your own, so I've heard people do.

Re: Are You a Genius? Coin Puzzle
What a strange and amateur critic of a man you are. I find it funny how people who think they're good at insulting people think that attacking gay people or the color of someone's skin are the stupidest among their peers. I do agree that this guy is a little mean about people being normal, but you have absolutely no right to blame people for their sexuality or their fucking skin color! Thinking that someone can change their sexual views makes you an idiot. If you were gay and you tried to be straight, it would probably make you want to kill yourself. Yeah, good idea, trying to make someone commit suicide. Also, do you expect a black man to dye his skin white??? Who do you like more? Michael Jackson or a person that doesn't try to hide what he obviously can't hide? And why would he hide something that has no reason to be hidden???? We evolved for apes right?(or are you one of those people that thinks that God created each individual animal?) If you think that apes are our great ancestors, then can you explain something to me? Apes are black if you shave their fur, so do you think that the apes became white and then evolved (even though they live in hot places and they need to have dark skin so their skin doesn't get burnt) into humans? Or do you think we evolved from albino apes, which are almost completely blind and, again, their skin is too white for them to survive!!!!! You make me feel disgraced to be white. I hope you change your mind about black people at least, and gays. Otherwise, FUCK YOU!!

What I want to know is how many times he's gotten laid after showing that "bar/pub/cafe" trick.

Re: Are You a Genius? Coin Puzzle
first: why the hell is the background music from the game cake mania?

second: why the hell are you a genius if you are able to see and remember the 5 moves he does.

third: oh really... i assume when you show your trick at a bar, the guys arent drunk in any way.

fourth: stop writing your screen info on paper.. it sucks

You have your invsable gas that acts like water, ballon filled with water over a flame that dosent break, you got a liquid that turns to a solid when tuched. You got a guy that makes salt water burn when hit with the right sound, ect.

Re: Are You a Genius? Coin Puzzle
This can be done in two moves

Start. |O o| O o O

Move the bracketed coins to the end.

1. (O o) O O ! o

Move the parenthesized coins to the exclamation mark.

2. O O O o o

Re: Are You a Genius? Coin Puzzle
That's an excellent solution. He doesn't explain that you can't create space between any coins you move. However, his solution only uses space he creates by moving coins out. He may have forgotten to include the rule "you must keep any coins you move together".

Re: Are You a Genius? Coin Puzzle
I did it after 2 views, putting me in the top 20%

Mind you there's a 100% chance the guy in the video didn't get it until his 7th view. He's like one of those grade school kids who knows something you don't so he dubs himself a genius.

Re: Are You a Genius? Coin Puzzle
the joke is he wants you to think he's a prick, so that you'll go to his site and send an email. he wants attention and web hits...and made up some dumb coin trick that isn't impressive, and calls people dumb for not being able to do it right, only to gain his 5 seconds of internet fame.

Re: Are You a Genius? Coin Puzzle
This is a children's math class puzzle, nothing more.

He didn't create it.

Re: Are You a Genius? Coin Puzzle
technically here all you need is a really good memory as he shows you the solution, the real genius part would be if he didn't show you the solution. Am i wrong in saying this ?!

Re: Are You a Genius? Coin Puzzle
Lol, after he explained the rules I paused it and played around. 30 seconds later, I figured it out in three moves without him showing what to do. Although it took me a while to redo, i guess I did what your explaining.

Re: Are You a Genius? Coin Puzzle
at the risk of sounding like an ego-stroking mental-masturbating jackass, I'll submit that I was able to solve the puzzle in about the length of time it took for him to show me.

It's actually MUCH easier than he makes it out to be.

why?

1 first two moves are extremely easy to remember

2 the third move is still easy to remember because it's the same basic motion

3 the fourth move is pretty much the only available move if you've remembered the first three correctly

4 the fifth move completes the puzzle, and you would be a complete imbecile not to be able to complete the puzzle at that point
