Logic Puzzle! Hurry?

Question

How do you Place 4 pennies, 4 nickels, 4 dimes, and 4 quarters in the grid so no coins that are the same are in the same row, column, or diagonal

(I don't have the answer, I'm looking for someonewho does in an hour, or atleast. Or if you doen't have the answer, atleast some way I could word it to search it in google.)

Answer 1

sounds like a sudoku puzzle..exactly same concept

Answer 2

How many squares in the grid horizontally and vertically? 4x4?

Answer 3

P=penny, N=nickel, D=dime, Q=quarter

P  N  D  Q

D  Q  P  N

Q  D  N  P

N  P  Q  D

thats the best i can think of at the moment, altho there are 2 N's and 2 D's in line on a diagonal, unless it only is including the longest diagonals from the corner to opposite corner

assuming this isnt a trick question and the grid is 4 x 4.
