Put the coins on a coordinate plane like so:
1 on the point (0,10)
1 on the point (10,0)
1 on the point (0,-10)
1 on the point (-10,0)
and 2 on the point (0,0).
Now there are 4 on the x-axis, and 4 on the y-axis.

First, arrange 5 coins so there are 3 in a row horizontally and vertically. Easy, huh? You can make an L or a + out of them.
Then put the last coin on top of the coin where the intersection is. Voila. Four in a row both ways.

Put the 6th coin on top of the middle coin. 4 in each row.

make a cross of three coins horizontally. Then place the other three cons vertically one above the center coin one on top of it and one below it!

how about 3 in a horizontal row, then pick one of them, put a coin above and below it vertically and one on top of it.

A cubic has six sides. But it has 4 sides and 1 up one down sides.If we put a cubic on (0,0,0) axis,it gets 4 rows horizontal and vertical coins(points).
