Roman 8:28 Puzzle

How can I balance 6 nails on one?

Before you peek at the answer, think of Romans 8:28 and realize that with God all things are possible! It's a great verse...and one worth memorizing if you haven't already. Now look at the photos and think of a compass with 4 points, North, East, South and West.

First. place 1 nail with the point going west!

Next place two nails with points aiming North.

Then place two more nails with points going South!

Lastly, place one nail in the slot formed by the heads...pointing East!

Pick up the nails between your thumb and forefinger gently and place the bottom nail on the head of the upright nail! Done!

Tip: Use box nails if you copy this puzzle...as they have a definite right angle between the shaft and the nail head. Common nails do not!

These are the 6 nails you want to balance in this puzzle!.
First nail points West..
Next place 4 nails!. Two point to the North as shown, and two point to the South.
Carefully place the 6th nail between the heads of those four above!. This is the trick. The heads will lock around this nail. (PS: Always use "Box" nails!
This is the solution.. Use your thumb and forefinger to gently pick up all 6 nails and place them on the head of the upright nail. You may copy this and amaze your friends! It's a good gimmick to get the attention of teenagers when you are preparing a lesson, etc. Romans 8:28 reads: "...and we know that all things work together for good for those who love the Lord!"
