Thread Starter 
I cannot get ahead in a game I am playing until I finish this puzzle. I have seen it before but cannot for the life of me remember the solution.

Move 3 coins to make the arrow point down.

I can do it in 4 but not 3. I sure hope someone out there can help bc after thing about it four the last 4 days I am running around in circles.

OK when I post this my pyramid slides all the way to the left and becomes very unpyramid like .

Grab some coins or buttons, One at the top, 2 on the next line, 3 on the next line and ..............yes, I know you are smart and you figured it out ............4 for the bottom row.

Thanking you in advance

Did it!

Ok, you move the 2 coins from the row with 4 to the row with 2 coins. Then you move the one coin at the top to the very bottom and it makes a downward facing triangle/arrow with only moving 3 coins.

I made x's on paper and crossed out and moved to solve it and got lucky on the first try. I'm giving the puzzle to my class tomorrow morning.
