The Touchy Quarter Alignment

These quarters can't get enough of the cold, metallic embrace of their fellow coinage. Can you figure out how to line them up?

I was like "oh wait, I actually know this one!" But then I remembered that I saw it on this channel lol

[@userusernomi]

It probably would've taken me a long while to solve that but once the guy asked if the coin could be left separated like that, it became quite easy. It's a shame he gave up after figuring out the biggest part of the puzzle.

[@AaronTheBlackDragon]

I think this was the first trick that I saw and from that day on I watched every thing that you made.

[@MrAqr2598]

The Four Coin Diamond-to-Row, the Six Coin Pyramid-to-Ring, and the Ten Coin Rectangle-to-Pyramid puzzles. They're all good.

[@KalEl0688]

This is such a good puzzle. I remember first learning it when I I started watching Scam School nearly 7 years ago. It is my favorite puzzle and never fails to get me a free drink. :-)

[@WanWan-zc2xp]

Thnx Brian Brushwood, you are my idol and you make my BIRTHDAY of this year be greater, hope next year it be the greatest!

[@AqRqTq]

Under 301 club Only 90's kids will remember

[@simpletn]

Oh my god I was literally thinking that. Because of the rule that you must touch at least 2 other coins with the coin you moved I figured out the whole thing entirely.

[@sharxbyte]

by the way, this trick got me a free tiramisu. I was showing my friends and the server walked up and asked what I was doing. I explained the rules, and he went to try it in the staging area. he came back and said that not only was he stumped, but the manager, chefs, bartender, and waitstaff couldn't figure it out, and the manager said on his way out to give me a dessert of my choice :D Also, 100th comment.

[@RJTheBikeGuy]

Took me a minute, but I solved it. Same four moves,

[@Thomas-rz5nt]

RJ The Bike Guy i could do it in three

[@anonymous4298]

Dude almost got it

[@johnbarfield3516]

I've used this trick many times in my life

[@johnbarfield3516]

Thank you scam school

[@MexieMex]

I love this gag, been doing it for years. A really nice little presentation detail is after you've won your first drink, show them move by move very slowly, then put the coins back together but ninety degrees off from the way you just showed them, this will make them start with the wrong coin and win you another beer ;^>

[@DavidWillanski]

Scam School keeps making my TV reboot. #firstworldproblems

[@JottHa]

Huh KZbin recommended to watch the original video earlier this morning and I did. Now you put it up again...creepy haha

[@samb5425]

the hair is soooo freaking dope

[@methodiconion8523]

This is the first of these puzzles that I was able to do without cheating to memory

[@hotdrop1735]

I think I'd just throw the quarters into my furnace and melt them down... then they'd all be touching, right?

[@andrewjenson4691]

I think that'd work! Love to see a video of melting quarters down with some other stuff!

[@jessicadutson543]

Technically doing that, every quarter would be touching two others...

[@kylezaruba9497]

fun idea, why don't you do that, record it, and then have the feds on your tail for illegally melting coins

[@hotdrop1735]

Kyle Zaruba because the feds will come after me over a dollar...

[@kylezaruba9497]

if you video record it and post it online, yes, they will.

[@stanley-lg2lk]

wow this is how it feels to be early

[@joeneil7448]

SlothInSpace Not *early*, just *on time*

[@TheCptCoy]

Its never early when its a remix. I posted on the original video so THERE

[@gabedoumak2970]

I stopped the video before he showed how to do it and I got it first try. It was really easy

[@aimanali8558]

I'm rely lemme make a joke Brian's hair

[@Mattteus]

don't rely on your sense of humour

[@Ellie-m6p]

Knew it. Woo. And never seen the video before now

[@ajreukgjdi94]

depending on how you define a move, I can do it in 2 moves, or even 1. 1) move one of the 2 short diagonal of the diamond so it touches the other short diagonal quarter and one of the long diagonal quarters. It will be in a line with the other short diagonal quarter and the final long diagonal quarter. Next, move the one quarter onto the end of the line on either side, but don't let go. you've moved 2 quarters without disobeying the rules, but since you haven't finished the second move, you could claim you've only made 1 move. Then proceed to leave your finger there for the rest of the day to prove a point: that you are a stubborn wisecrack.

[@AirAfter]

I love your channel man

[@itskelvinn]

I didnt try it but it wouldve been good to go backwards. You know the last move is gonna be one of the middle coins

[@lilymayer5444]

I couldn’t figure it out until I read your comment and it clicked instantly! I wish I had figured it out before on my own though lol

[@kamoroso94]

Hey I figured it out without watching the solution first! That's one problem you need to think outside the box to solve ;)

[@aidans.8455]

*looks at it *gets it to myself- wait... no... wait

[@lilymayer5444]

I wonder what traumatic thing happened to that guy, that made him decide to wear his hair all spiked like that.

[@Yotanido]

Well this was easy. Did it on my first try - 4 moves. (Without looking at the solution beforehand, obviously) I just figured, since at the end only the two inner coins touch two other coins, one of those needs to be the last move. I therefore focused on getting the outer coins in place first. Then it was just a matter of completing the line.

[@abhinashtechdeathchuck8855]

Seen this trick in Scam School.. :(

[@stnkfst8639]

It’s not true, because either the last one pushes the other coins out a little, or it just doesn’t touch one of the others.

[@aminkamrani2690]

it was super simple

[@petresilegov2581]

it took me 5 moves but i figured it out

[@markbarker2799]

Just when I forgot about that hair.

[@lilymayer5444]

1:17 he’s so close, just one move away and he doesn’t see it ahh

[@tubularbra598]

I cant remember the exact trick but it had to do with penny's & making an "L" with them, I believe it was 6 pennys but I can't remember. :(

[@alexw1779]

This is weird,I'm not five hours late

[@adamemac]

*HEY BRIAN* How about you bring back the spikes for old time sake?! : )

[@jokubas834]

yup

[@joncoors]

Took me about 11 moves the first time, then I got it in 4.

[@porkpickpocket6753]

Omg I'm one of the earliest sick trick btw

[@Salim-RS]

*Makes a comment about Brian old hairstyle

[@AbhishekSharma-mf3do]

oooyeahh that's it

[@cristianiglesias402]

Ok Brian you've showed me how to scam people in different ways. Now show me how to scam employees at stores into giving me free stuff!

[@joahmacosko6234]

Cristian Iglesias He did with the short change trick

[@Thomas-rz5nt]

I COULD DO THIS IN 3 STEPS

[@mcdrummer6137]

I found a way to solve it in three moves

[@christopherhepler1892]

Whats on his shoulder

[@Irodnak]

I miss the days where hosts of these random shows would try to be “edgy” with these types of hairstyles.

[@DreddGaming]

MANNN i miss brains hair.

[@MXCN_El1011]

Yeah but u can do it in 3

[@Thwowspieler]

stopped at 0:40 took me 20 seconds to figure it out. its like the most puzzles. break up the normal thinking process. you do not have to have ALL pices together all the time. only the coin your move has to touch 2 other

[@bozgis9389]

This has been already featured on scam school isn't it?

[@UtbrsChnnl]

Lukas Žaidžia thats the point of scam school remix, he edits old scams where he shows the challenge, a shorter version of the person attempting it and the solution

[@epicscreenname989]

Lukas Žaidžia hasn't

[@bozgis9389]

Madspy123 oh ok

[@dhruvkalia2180]

[@MKwildout]

[@Thomas-rz5nt]

Kusti2801 i figured out a way to do it in 3 moves

[@MKwildout]

DoomsDay how is that even possible :D

[@caf110]

[@RodrigoVzq]

[@buoynscom]

Well I am happy to say that I got it. However it took me 10+ moves and a lot of starting over, but yeah. Seems impossible at the beginning but as we all saw it can be done.

[@coleusss3300]

Brian, your hair!

[@jablesboogley]

I love this one. I was broke and I supplied an entire night of drinking with this puzzle after doing a couple card tricks

[@pseudosam2458]

I just don't see why this was supposed to be hard. That guy almost figured it out just moving random stuff around.

[@frycopy2746]

fun conversations on gmail hehe....

[@thesciencegammer2682]

Can't you just use one coin to push the other coins to form a line and put the coin in the middle

[@jeffrooow]

Didn't i see this one already?
