Confusion regarding Gauss law and capacitors In book (Halliday Resnick Krane, 2nd Part, fifth edition), it's written that when you you put some charge in an isolated conductor, then within around $10^{-9}$ seconds the charges all go to the surface of the conductor, and there's no charge in the inside of the conductor. Even if you cut a hole from inside of the the conductor, then also there would be no net charge in the surface around the hole in the conductor.
The reasoning the apply is using Gauss law and somehow concluding that "the electric field in the conductor must zero everywhere inside it otherwise there would be some field and the particles would not be stationary".
I find this argument to be wrong. Suppose you take an isolated sphere, and in the center of the sphere, you put a negative charge of magnitude $-q$, and construct an hexagon with arbitrary distance centered at the negative charge, and put some positive charge on equal magnitude $+Q$ each vertice of the hexagon so that the entire system is in equilibrim (that such value of positive charge for which the system exists at equilibrium follows by "applying" intermediate value theorem on $Q = 0$ and $Q = \infty$). 
Picutre as requested (red is the negative charge of magnitude $-q$ and blue are the positive charges of magnitude $Q$ such that the configuration is stable): 
But then there's some charge at the inside of the conductor, so the net field is not zero, but the particles are stationary too! What's wrong with my arguement?
 A: Your argument seems to be based on fixed point charges and a disregard of the other mobile charges in the conductor. Charges in conductors are assumed to be mobile under the influence of an electric field. The redistribution of the mobile charges of a conductor due to an electric field causes the field inside an conductor to become zero.  
A: The book says: 

when you put some charge in an isolated conductor, then within
  around $10^{-9}$ seconds the charges all go to the surface of the
  conductor, and there's no charge in the inside of the conductor.

This is pretty much what is going to happen, if you put your charges inside a conductor. 
As you are saying, these group of charges will create a non-zero field. This field will get free electrons inside the conductor in motion and, within a short period of time, perhaps, on the order of nanoseconds, the field inside the conductor will be gone - canceled by free electrons assuming their new positions.
If the net charge of the group is not zero, it'll end up, in a form of extra electrons or positive ions, on the external surface of the conductor. For instance, if the net charge of the group is -1 microcoulomb, about $6.4\times10^{12}$ electrons will be pushed out and end up distributed along the surface of the conductor.
