Coins and a cranky pnome #2
The next night Mara had a dream.
The cranky pnome whispered to her, "Your brother solved the first problem. Please solve the second problem so that I can rest at last. You have 11 coins: 3 quarters, 4 dimes, and 4 nickels. Place one coin in each of the 11 boxes so that the sum of the coins in each line of boxes is always 45 cents."

Mara awoke the next morning with a worried look. Lying on her night table were 11 coins and a piece of paper on which were drawn 11 boxes joined by lines.
She began working on the problem. The cranky pnome needed her help.
