Help with a pumpkin puzzle?!
Question: You have an arrangement of 7 pumpkins and you must add two pumpkins to get 10 rows of 3 pumpkins (a row is any three pumpkins that lie on a line) I've attached a photo of the arrangement. Even a hint would help me out.

You start out with seven pumpkins A, B, C, D, E, F, and G and you add two pumpkins H and I.
The ten rows of three are
1. A, C, F
2. B, E, G
3. C, D, E
4. A, D, G
5. B, D, F
6. A, B, H
7. I, F, G
8. I, C, B
9. F, E, H
10. I, D, H
You have to think outside the box. I have done this before years ago. You don't need to add the pumpkin right beside the ones that are already there, but get a larger area around them and the 2 pumpkins that you add, you put at a distance from the current ones, so that they line up with more than just the one beside it - it is possible, it just takes up a bit of space.
no idea dude
