Here's a quick ten-liner that dropped onto the desk from somewhere. It's simple but one of those little brain teasers you won't leave until you solve. The concept is simple. A board consists of nine holes, in a row. Four blue chips are positioned in the first tour holes and four red chips arc positioned in the last four hales. The aim is to move all the blue chips to the last four holes and t:ic reds chips across to the first four. Easy? Different coloured chips go in different directions - they can't go backwards! The chips move forwards by either jumping over one other chip into the vacant space, or if the space is immediately in front, jus; stepping into it. If all this sounds confusing, don't worry - all will be revealed after a few plays. Oh, and if you gel stuck just press zero and the game starts again.  TAU |
