Solving the IMPOSSIBLE Coin Puzzle! Hexagon Puzzle with 6 Coins
video description
Answer: Because this is an idiotic question and whoever came up with it just wants to boast his ego.
Counter: please answer the question.
Answer: Close your ears, and i will call your CEO letting him know you guys are wasting time just to play -Gotcha-.
Lesson: Any company asks these types of questions run like a madman out of there, if the interview is this cryptic; imagine if you had to work with them!
They will make your life hell and then make you feel like a retard at the end of it. Anyone asking such questions is certainly not open to stewardship and helping you learn. They want a manufactured bot not a human.

I found this very simple (did the same moves, but upside-down. Not sure why this would be consider hard/impossible. Given 3 moves you already know that you need to have no more than 2 missing slots in the final hex, so starting point is forced. Then you know it's symmetrical 6-way, so the only coins you need to consider is center, the one off the hexagon. Play it backwards and it's clear how to resolve it, as ONLY possible move is to take any of the 6 and place it to make a 'corner'. No need to try around here at all, as it's all forced on you.

Logically speaking, There is no rule that states two moves cannot happen simultaneously. Because of this, You can complete this in two moves instead of three, by moving top center coin up and left at the same time as you move bottom left coin to the spot up and left twice. This fulfills the rules where the coins must touch two other coins at the end of their move and do not disturb any other coins during their move.

there is also other way,
in which first coin that is center could be move
bt in this case, it would be feel like we not making it hexagon bt at last it will be hexagon.
step 1: move center coin to the left side touching two coins
2nd step: move the coin up (that is just below of the coin placed by step 1)
3rd step: move the 1st disturbed coin to complete hexagon.

I tried to solve the puzzle using 6 coins but failed even after multiple tries.
Later I watched the solution still was not able to perform the solution live, I watched the solution from the video again and achieved the solution at last.
Great explanation, great video, great contents. -logically yours, you rocked again.

I can do it in 2 moves by moving the middle coin in the first row to up and bit rightward and then placing the left in the 2nd row also up and bit right.
Edit: I don't know the rule that it should touch 2 other coins. I just saw the thumbnail and tried to solve it.

I got a slightly different solution in that I moved those last two coins simultaneously so that when their final position occurred, they would be touching each other, and each coin will be touching the second coin when they ended up in their final position.

I tried solving it just in my head but gave up after like two minutes. Cut out six little squares (gets the job done) got it first try, altho i already I knew what moves will surely result in failure so maybe i should have just tried a little longer

Number coins on top row as 1, 2, 3 and bottom row as 4, 5 and 6. Now hold three coins numbered 3, 5 and 6 with three fingers and push down also push left so that coins 3 and 5 touches coins 2 and 4. Hope there are no violations of rules.

I thought all coins will be touched with a minimum of two coins but in the second movement, the top coin touched with only one coin so I think there is a very impossible task to complete with a minimum of two touches in every 3 steps.

By moving only two ( 2 ) coins, One at right in top row and one at the middle of bottom row, place these two touching each other and one touching bottom left and other touching bottom right, we should get the desired configuration

It was a wring puzzle shown by you -LOGICALLYYOURS BECAUSE when you perform the second move the top right coin remains touched with a single coin not with 2 coins which is illegal according to rule so the solution is invalid

Another solution is to move the two middle coins simultaneously so they both meet and complete the top part of the circle and then move the coin at the bottom far left to the right so it completes the circle on the bottom!

Hi Mr L. Y actually a Hexagon only needed 2 moves 1st 2nd coin from the top row moves up on top of the 3rd coin. 2nd the 1st coin from the lower row moves up on top of the 1st coin of the top row then form the Hexagon.

I think I solved with a similar method but instead of moving first ball to touch 2 and 3. I imagined moving 6 to touch 5 and 4. Then moved 5 to touch 2 and 3. Then moved 3 to touch 6 and 5 making a hexagon

Technically you could do this in one move.
Just move the 4 outside coins at the same time and place them carefully without disturbing the middle coins. The rules say nothing about not moving multiple coins

Came across this puzzle in the Aubrey Maturin series of books where the ship's physician, Stephen Maturin, is also an intelligence agent and uses this as proof of his identification. Very neat!

You pronounce -Vertex- correctly, yet you utterly mangle -Vertices-
It is not a mere matter of accent, you actually use the WRONG WORD for -Vertices-

There is another solution. Clue: there is no stipulation that you can-t move 2 coins simultaneously. A single coin move, followed by a double coin move can be a solution.

Actually touching the two coins diametrically opposite to each other and touching the two adjacent coin with third coin ( as picturised in the video) deceived the audience

I realized my mistake as I resumed the video. But I restarted it again not knowing the answer yet. The next time I solved the problem, I got the answer!

I _almost_ failed it, gave up until luckily the trick clicked for me. I suspect it's the only solution as it's the exact same way as in the video.

I got it in one move: right index on middle coin, left index on bottom left one. Move both coins at the same time competing the hexagon at once.

To be honest I did this quite quickly by ''cheating''.
If you start with the hexagon and then try to get the original shape.
Much easier!
