The problem is to move the three pieces
on one side to the place occupied by those
on the other, and the latter to the place
of the former. This is to be done by
moves made straight forward, one line at
a time, and in jumping to jump but one
piece at a time Tanglers ought to try
this comical puzzle before reading the an
swer below. To solve it make these
moves From line 5 to line 4, from line 8
to line 5, to 3, 4 to 2, to 4, to 6, 5 to
7, 8 to 5, / to 3, 2 to l, to 2, to 4, 5 to
6, 3 to 5, to 3. Being worked from the
other end first the result will be the same
if the same system is followed in moving.
