I dried the book but the pages are wobbly.

How do I make it normal?

I can do it in two moves but is there a way to do it one?

The mimimum number of possible moves is four. I thought of a two-move solution myself at first, and I'm sure it is quite similar to yours, but it would slightly disturb the other pennies.

3, bottom right, bottom mid and top and only 2 if you're able to slide bottom mid out without hitting any other coin

>>22029534
It only disturbs the other pennies if you try to move a penny in a straight line, which isn't required.

This but in a /\ motion is two moves and fits the rules

The rules didn't say you couldn't move the pennies simultaneously, so you ensure that when the two pennies stop they are also touching each other. 2 points of contact, 2 moves.

I'd guess 3
half of the shape is already there (the green ones) so just move the rest

You fail reading comprehension. "a penny" is one penny, and moving another penny would count as disturbing it.

Quite easy. With respect to any one of them, the other is moving at 30,000 miles per hour, or 500 miles per minute. Therefore they will be 500 miles apart a minute before collision.

>>22031275
>doesn't say you can't make multiple moves at once
Despite it clearly defining what counts as a move, nowhere does it say only one move can occur at a time. Still 2.

300. Missile A flies 150 miles per minute. Missile B flies 450 miles per minute. This = 600. Divide by two and you get 300.

Now here's the thing, if one of the pennies is jammed between two other pennies and is, in fact, making contact, even if only tangentially, won't that move the two other pennies.

Following the previous train of thought, is it possible to move more than two pennies simultaneously, if not, I'm not sure this train of thought is entirely applicable Though this method could be used in a lengthier solution.

If you are not a bot, then you have two hands and ten fingers to slide the two pennies with. Some dexterity of hand will be what's left to need, but you should've learned that by typing on this Australian birdhouse-crafting forum.

Well, let's do the 3 variant and label the coins in the triangle like this
>1
>23
>456
Then remove 1, 5 and 6 and place them accordingly which gives you
>23
>4_1
>56
2 variant would only remove 1 and 5 and you will get
>23
>4_6
>15
