PuzzleEdit

Here's a classic puzzle. The rules are simple--you can move any ball on the board below as long as it satisfies the following conditions:

To move, jump your selected ball over an adjacent space occupied by another ball into an empty space on the other side. You can't jump diagonally.
Once you've made the jump, the ball you jumped over disappears from the board.
To complete the puzzle, you must remove all balls from the board except for one.

All right, get hopping!

HintsEdit

Click a Tab to reveal the Hint.

Make the first of the balls disappear by jumping the ball in the center of the cross over the ball to its immediate left or right.

Move the ball at the very bottom into the space formerly occupied by the center ball.

With just a few balls to go now, you should be able to sail through the rest of this puzzle.

With puzzle of this type, your first move will often determine whether or not you'll be able to solve the puzzle.
