You're on the right track in thinking of the coin layout. How many
possible layouts are there, effectively? (considering that the coins
may be rotated to your friend's content between moves)
Hint #2: How many kinds of moves can you make, really? You noted
that flipping one coin is equivalent to flipping three coins. What
other sorts of moves are there?
