After figuring how to plant your 10 trees in 5 rows, the tree keeper walks up to you.

I like your idea, but sometimes I get vicious squirrels that come and steal all the fruit off it...

I am installing some garden path such that it is harmless to humans but will shock squirrels. (This means the squirrels won't pass over it.) Can you place those 10 trees along 5 lines of straight garden path so that there are 4 trees on each garden path and there are some trees on the inside?

How would you arrange the trees this time?

I just checked where I got the answer from and you are right. There are 2 trees on the inside:

A: -12, -7
B: -5,0
C: -4,1
D: -2, 0
E: 0,-1
F: 0,5
G: 2,0
H: 4,1
I: 5,0
J: 12,-7
