Reasonably straight forward I think - but nice idea!
I think in rows and columns. I thought the rows had to be parallel. So even with the hint my illogical mind didn't get it.
i don't get it
please, guys, show some pity... i'm really a newbie, and this is my very first teaser, so i'm happy i started with the right foot...
You also could move a new coin to the middle.... didn't say you had to move one of the ones on the paper!
Sorry, just trying to think outside the box.

Hey! great job! But I just didn't get it.
not a bad start for a first teaser, again i think too much of a hint was given.
I didn't really understand that teaser.. whatever
Didn't say to move one of the original 4 coins, so I moved a new one into the middle and got two diagonal rows!
Good job, but a little too easy with the hint. It is amazing that your very first teaser got accepted. People should show some pity!
markmonnin - it's both
three rows of two, and two rows of three
three rows of two, and two rows of three
