Dude, step away from the bong and no one gets hurt...
What’s up with masonic apron scribbled there on the back of your recycled paper? Maybe it’s on the front and your pen is running out of ink.
In my introduction post to this forum, I said that I would be the stupidest person here. So, living up to the claim, I am totally corn-fused. First off, I count 20 pennies on a target.
Looks like the same target but some of the pennies have been Moved. And I don't know what the significance of this target is.
I am sure that there is some significance that I am just not seeing. I don't care if anyone wants to "hurt my feelings" and call me all kinds of names or even pop off with "tell me you don't shoot without saying that you don't shoot."
Even give me dose of Billy Madison from the "may God have mercy on your soul" speech.
In fact, I will pre-emptively post it here if it turns that I am just really, really dense.

Subliminal messaging only works on some. The two different lay outs confuse many until they dig deeper as with two per corner the corner penny's get double counted, which is why there are still 6 per row, in both. 4 can be removed from the rows yet still yield 6 per side as the singles are counted only once.
I still do not have a clue what this is about.
Please, feel free to talk to me as if I were a student in school encountering trigonometry for the first time.

His mom and dad are brother and sister, does that help ya out?
You would get 95% of 100% in common core math I’m sure!
But to correct you I’m actually counting 48 pennies.
@Aftermath please help.
We're all happy you have life savings.....
In both arrangements, there are 2 columns of 6 pennies, and there are 2 rows of 6 pennies- sort of.
The first arrangement accomplished this feat of magic with only 20 pennies, while the second mystically accomplished this with only 16 pennies. But, WTF? 6+6+6+6=24. How can all of these truths coexist?
The first is easy. Each column shares the first and last penny with a corresponding row. Because there are 4 shared pennies, the arrangement uses 20 instead of 24.
The second is a trick of the arrangement, and the little boxes that have been drawn. There are 2 rows of 6 pennies. But, the columns only have 4 pennies- given that to form a column, each penny must stack directly over/underthe one beneath/over it. More charitably, each row shares 4 pennies with each column. That makes 8 shared pennies, for a total of 16 to accomplish the arrangement.
And, whoever said there are 48 pennies needs to go back to kindergarten.
It must be a slow f’n Friday down in the holler.

You can only help those who realize they need help. Otherwise you are wasting your time and resources.
In other words, I can explain it to you but I can’t understand it for you.
Truly, it's just a matter of mind over matter. I don't mind because it does not matter.
I count 20 without all that gay shit about columns and rows.
Gunfighter is being cute again.
Note post 1... " 24 penny's total, 4 rows of 6"
Then, note post 6... "Subliminal messaging only works on some.."
At least one person in this thread assumed 48 pennies were in the pic, then doubled down when called out on it.
Is there a larger message about taking what life spoon-feeds you at face value?
Is Gunfighter trying to be the smartest in the room again?
Is this a kindergarten level counting exercise?
20 in one pic, 20 in the other pic. If counting pics, then 40. But I stick with 20 because, for all we know, it is the same 20 pennies.
All of which is moot.
@Gunfighter14e2 got what he wanted.
A thread that got people's attention and have us all spinning gears contemplating the riddle, shrouded in a mystery, and wrapped up in an enigma.
No mystery, if you know how to count. Even if you have to take your shoes off
