Sounds easy, right? Oh...one more thing. You have to do it in 14 moves or fewer.

US Version

The 14-move limit definitely makes things a little tricky. And don't forget that you can't stack up more than six cans at a time. Also, don't get carried away stacking up the same type of can every chance you get, because it's going to cost you moves in the long run.

Don't get carried away stacking up the same type of tin at every opportunity. It will cost you moves in the long run.

US Version

Instead of stacking up the same type of can every chance you get, it's better to think about what type of cans you should stack in each row.

Whenever possible, you want to move as many cans together as possible at a time. Of course, sometimes you have to move just one can at a time.

US Version

From left to right, think of the stacks as the first, second, third, and fourth.

Move the fish from the fourth stack to the first stack. Move the peaches from the second stack to the fourth stack. Move the ham from the third stack to the second stack. Move the fish from the third stack to the first stack...

You can take it from here!
