Now, add one coin and place it so there are four coins vertically and four horizontally.

No Paul, "add one coin and place it", you can't lift the coins off the desk. 
defeats the object lesson 
However, I would like to hear your altenative solutions....and Paul they better be good.

Well why didn't you say so.  
Of course, I was going to place it underneath, rather than on top. If I can't move that coin, though, I guess I could sellotape it to the underside of the table that the coin is on.
And as for the other solutions, they were going to be achieved by re-arranging the coins - eg. different cross shapes rather than an L - and then placing the coin on top - or below.

Dunno, he'd probably only need to catch me early in the day; generally, the less caffeine i've got whizzing through my system the more gullible I am.
