Picture riddle: 6 discs into rows with 4 each?

You have 6 disc arranged into 2 rows:

0 0 0 0

0

0 You must put 4 in each row without adding more discs??

I can't figure this out...

p.s. I'm not sure if it's just a play on words, and you actually put a 4 in each row. I THINK it's literal, though.

    take the one on the top row on the right, and put it on top of the one at the corner...

    then you'll have

    OO O O

    .O

    .O

    the two at the top left are on top of each other, so you have 4 in each row

    does it say you can't take any discs away? if not then take two away and have one row of for. That's all I can think of without breaking any discs in half....

    @not the jack, if you do that it's still a row of four and a row of three....look at your picture

    4 times 2 is eight, and will always be 8... it can never be six. so this isn't even a riddle. it's a mathematical impossibility...unless some kind of way you can make 4 time 2 =6...are you sure you heard the riddle right?
