A new brainteaser has left even the smartest Brits scratching their heads, but it turns out there’s actually a super simple solution.

一个新的脑筋急转弯甚至让最聪明的英国人都摸不着头脑，但事实证明实际上有一个超级简单的解决方案。

Cameron Gibson, who goes by @camerongibsonirl on social media, shared a rather tricky coin-themed brainteaser to his social media account. While people agreed that the puzzle was rather challenging, his method for finding a solution was totally ‘genius’.

卡梅伦·吉布森（Cameron Gibson）在社交媒体上的昵称是@camerongibsonirl，他在他的社交媒体帐户上分享了一个相当棘手的以硬币为主题的脑筋急转弯。虽然人们一致认为这个谜题相当具有挑战性，但他寻找解决方案的方法完全是“天才”。

In the video, Cameron explained: “Here’s a simple challenge you can set your family and friends. All it uses is nine coins and the idea here is that you have to try and separate each of the nine coins from the other coins by drawing only two more squares.”

在视频中，卡梅伦解释道：“这是一个简单的挑战，你可以为你的家人和朋友设置。它只使用九个硬币，这里的想法是，你必须尝试通过再画两个方块来将九个硬币中的每一个与其他硬币分开。”

In the video, Cameron has a sheet of paper with a single square on it and nine coins set up in a three by three grid inside it. He explained that the challenge is to ensure that each coin is separated from the rest of the coins, with the catch being that you’re only able to draw two more squares.

在视频中，卡梅伦拿着一张纸，上面有一个正方形，里面有九枚硬币，排列成三乘三的网格。他解释说，挑战是确保每个硬币与其余硬币分开，但问题是你只能再画两个正方形。

While it may seem like an almost impossible puzzle to solve, it turns out the solution is really rather simple. Cameron asked anyone who wanted to work the puzzle out on its own to pause his video there, before sharing how to solve the brainteaser.

虽然这似乎是一个几乎不可能解决的难题，但事实证明解决方案实际上相当简单。卡梅伦要求任何想自己解决这个难题的人先暂停他的视频，然后再分享如何解决这个脑筋急转弯。

He said: “Well, here’s the solution. All you have to do is really quickly separate each of the coins using one square like this.” Cameron then drew a diagonal square inside the outer square, with the new addition incorporating the five central coins, but leaving each corner coin outside the new square.

他说：“好吧，这就是解决方案。你所要做的就是用这样的一个方块快速地将每枚硬币分开。”然后卡梅伦在外部正方形内画了一个对角正方形，新添加的部分包含五个中央硬币，但将每个角硬币留在新正方形之外。

Next, he explained: “And then, using your second square, you need to just isolate that middle coin, really simply separating all the coins from each other using only two more squares.” The puzzle enthusiast then drew another square around the central coin, which meant that each coin was completely separated from all the others.

接下来，他解释道：“然后，使用第二个方块，您只需隔离中间的硬币，实际上只需使用另外两个方块即可将所有硬币彼此分开。”然后，拼图爱好者在中央硬币周围画了另一个正方形，这意味着每枚硬币都与其他硬币完全分开。

People were quick to comment on the video, with one person pleased by how clear the instructions were, writing: “Your instructions were very clear.” While a second agreed and said: “Well explained.”

人们很快就对视频发表了评论，其中一个人对说明的清晰程度感到满意，并写道：“您的说明非常清楚。”第二个人同意并说：“解释得很好。”
