Just when I thought I have done every puzzle already....This one is simply constructed and clever. I like it. Never saw this one before.

Very cool, Larry!

So have you solved it yet, Mensa?

Never seen it before but I like it.

If they want to make it a real challenge the cents need to be placed symetrically. If we assume it can be solved, then placing them randomly in the space will work with some space left over.

Of course, I solved it in my mind in a few seconds.

.. and Mensa is for idiots. I'm not renewing this year so I can focus more on ISPE.

I knew there was a reason I never joined.

So, this has been bouncing around in my head non-stop. Lol. I'm confident that there are multiple solutions.

I see no rules. Stack them? With a pair of nipper pliers I could get an easy three more in there, without stacking.


Added: Don't know what I was thinking. Stand them on their edge and get 150 or so in there, with no stacking.

Now you're thinking outside the box! Those were my first thoughts, too. There's an old bar trick where you do just that, stack them. However, you can do this one by laying them all flat, but I hope it explains that somewhere. Hopefully it comes with rules.
