A soldier likes difficult puzzle, one
hat he can work at for an hour or two
at a time, and the solitaire board
shown in Fig. l presents just such
puzzle. The trick in this is to jump
the pegs one at time over one all
other, and remove each peg jumped
over, until all pegs but one have been
removed from the board. Following
IS key which shows in what order to
jump the men, to play the game to q
successful finish: Stick the pegs In
all holes except that numbered in
Fig. 8, then, in successive moves, jump
