Coins
Dim the lights, light the incense, and settle in for some relaxing puzzlement with Coins. Slide the coins around from starting position to goal position in forty soothing levels. Ahh. Sounds easy, right? In the first twenty levels, you can only move a coin to a place where it's touching two other coins. In the second twenty, it must be touching two coins of different colors.

I have to admit, I don't quite get the rules when colors are involved..
I agree with Diego. It's either inconsistent or there's a bug.
In the third set, number three is solved this way:
So it looks like they can only move to positions where they are touching two colors, but the final answer doesn't require them to be touching two colors (the leftmost and rightmost coin are only touching coins of the same color).
Given that, I cannot solve number 5. It won't take any solution I offer. This
isn't accepted. At first I thought it might be because you can solve it in four moves instead of the "best" score of five, but that's not it, either. I can't figure out any answer that will be accepted, in fact.
I'm confused.
The dark spots need dark coins on them, the lighter spots need lighter coins on them.
On the two color levels, the solution is only accepted if you have dark coins on dark watermarks, and light on light. In the solution you posted for no. 5, argyblarg, the bottom-most light and the topmost dark need to be switched.
Note that you can MOVE light on dark and vice versa (and will need to in intermediate stages) but that it just doesn't count as "solved."
Also, the rule about "must touch two different colors" only applies when you are moving a coin to a different spot, and only to the coin you are moving. You can move a coin to a legal spot and then strand it there by removing its neighbors.
I enjoyed this a lot. Great game!
Ahh...I see now. I must have missed that part of the instructions.
And to think, I solved the first four without knowing the rules....
Thanks!
Stumped on the very last puzzle! Can anyone get this one in 7 moves?
Last puzzle was tricky. Here's my 7-step solution:
I'm going to number the positions in the top row A1-A4, and the positions in the bottom row B1-B5. The coins start at A3, A4, B3, B4, B5.
-
A4 to A2
-
B4 to B2
-
B3 to A1
-
B2 to B4
-
A3 to B2
-
A2 to B1
-
A1 to B3
@Matchu -- Brilliant, thanks!
Thanks ore and Xindaris! The coloured targets seemed to be a point of confusion for a lot of people, I'll for sure reconsider the way I do instructions for future games.
Matchu, Nice puzzling skills! :D Glad you made it through.
Walkthrough (in images) for the first half of part IV...
(I figured part IV was the hardest and most needed a walkthrough, but it took way longer than I expected. I may do the rest later).

Watch out: they show all steps and although it may be possible to shrink your browser window, quickly zoom in, and then try to see only a step or two at a time, you may accidentally see more than you wanted.
If someone else wants to take my images and separate them into a multi-step image walkthrough, that's cool with me.
i am having trouble on level 2 part 10. i keep moving the coins around but i cant figure out how to do it with in the limit
Aced every level except 2-9 and 2-10. Any hints?
I'll give hints for level 2-9 and 2-10
2-9:
the coin not on a circle is moved LAST.
2-10:
the first two coins to move are already on a circle. they are also diagonal from each other. first coin goes at the very top.
I have every level except 37. Can somebody help me out please?
3-7:
A = first row, B = 2nd row, C = 3rd row
C1 to B2 (empty spot in centre)
A2 to C1
C2 to A2
B1 to C2
B2 to B1
3-10 anyone?
Pipo for 3-10
Move one of the coins to the centre. Then every coin you move from then on has to go to its correct position; every coin has to go to the space that the last coin came from.
The far left and far right spaces are the most difficult - make sure you do those before the ones next to them.
For myself I'm stuck on 3-4 under the limit. Any tips?
stucked on 3-6, can do in 6 steps but not in 5. Any hints? or maybe the firsts steps, tks in advance
drstuey for 3-4:
no need to touch coins that already placed in circles. First you need to move two blacks, then two whites, then two blacks again. Two whites must go under the bottom black, and one of the whites will go to the circle.
Can anyone give hints for 4-8?
did all except 4.8. would be good if you can send an ace solution for it. (aced most of others with helps here though :D)
4-8 solution
top colored shall be B, bottom colored shall be C.
C-3 to A-1
B-1 to C-3
A-1 to C-4
C-3 to B-1
B-2 to C-3
I'm absolutely stuck on how to ace 2-8. Any hints?
4-8 =
1- botton left White goes up, 2- top brown where white was, 3- then white to the right edge, 4- brown back to top, 5- and white in final place.
yeah, 4-8 is my hold-up too. :(
Any help?
Okay, I got 4-8 Here goes:
Suppose it's a pyramid:
1
2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9 10
It starts off only coins in 4,5,6,7,8,9
Move as follows:
9-2
4-9
2-10
9-4
5-9
Sorry I don't know how to post screenshots, but it's that easy.
I've finally aced 4-8 here it is:
Move Top Brown coin diagonally down to the right. Move the adjacent Brown coin to the right of it. Then move the previous brown coin back to where it was. Next move the stray White coin to the empty white spot. And finally move the stray Brown coin back into position.
I hope that helped anyone who was stuck there. I was frustrated on it for a good while last night and just figured it out coming back today.
Some help on 4-9 would be nice. I have no idea how to ace it.
Nevermind, figured it out by pure guess. All the levels are aced now.
really need help with 2-9 acing it. the hint didnt help anything -_-
Got every one except 3-6. Anyone want to help?
Here's 4-9
NOTE: Free coins mean coins that are not in a correct position.
Move an empty white coin below the middle of where the brow and white coins meet. Move the top brown coin to the left of that white coin. Move the other free white coin to the bottom white spot. Move the remaining free white coin up into the free white slot on the left. Move the Last out of position white coin into position. Finally, move the brown coin into position.
I hope these directions were clear enough.
Solution for 2-9
Coins start at 1 and the last spot to the right is 6. Positions are labeled the same.
Move Coin 2 above Coin 4 and 5. Move coin 4 to the right of Coin 2. Move Coin 2 to Position 6. Move Coin 4 back to Position 4. Move Coin 5 to Position 2. Move Coin 3 to Position 5.
Hope these directions were clear enough to help.
Can I please get help for 3-9, anybody?
Someone can help with 4-10? Its killing me from two days now!
2-10?? please?!

Two corrections to the walkthrough.
Level 3-6:
Using the image provided in the walkthrough:
3-8, 9-3, 8-2, 7-1, 5-7
Level 4-1:
There's no position 12 in the image, and position 10 is already taken up by a coin.
So, label position 12 as the space to the left of 10, in the image. Then:
7-5, 1-12, 11-4, 5-7, 10-5
6-8, 12-3, 2-9, 8-6, 3-8
Thank you XtinaS! Guess I should've tested better :) I'm getting the walkthrough updated.
