the problem is
38. Six coins are arranged in a triangular shape as shown. Rearrange the coins to form a circular shape by movie only two coins. To "move" a coin, you must slide it along the surface without disturbing any other coins, and place it in a new position so that it is touching another coin.

Move the top and middle bottom coins out of place.
Re-arrrange them below the bottom left and bottom right coins.
