Another Puzzle for you all ;)
There are 6 glasses, 3 of them are filled with wine in the following order
empty empty full full full empty
By only touching or moving *one* glass, arrange them so they are thus:
full empty full empty full empty
As with all of these puzzles, no special powers are used ;)
Last puzzle was:
Take five coins of the same size (not from someone else) and place them
such that every coin touchs all the others.

Most coins in this shadow are round. Round coins won't all touch in the
above pattern, and even if they were square, two won't (diagonally
opposite) won't be touching one another.

All coins should be touching each every other coin.

Urrrrrrr. Nice try but no cigar ;)
