If you solve it let me know to add you to the honor roll. Honor Roll: retop720, pokemona1, videogame9, goodgamer10, Nevit, ffred, Paddle2see*, misteryninja, and maybe you. This is from book MORE MATHEMATICAL PUZZLES OF SAM LOYD, selected and Edited by Martin Gardner. Famous puzzeler Sam Loyd originally published this in 1916 with the name " A NAUTICA PROBLEM" for Young Students as follows: TEN BATTLESHIPS are shown here in two rows. When the enemey approaches, four ships change their positions to make five rows with four ships in each row. How is this done? Ten coins maybe use for working the puzzle. I would like to thanks the Super School Team and in particular Nevit and ffred for their comments and bugs. A big thanks to Paddle 2see* for his great suggestions.
