I think the me...Just helped my daughter with this. I think the method is all around the pattern of the moves. The moves can either be slides (S) where the frog moves into the adjacent space or jumps (J) where the frog jumps over its neighbour into the space. If we think of Green (G) frogs on the left and Brown (B) frogs on the right then the pattern is simply an increasing then decreasing number of jumps, separated by slides.<br /><br />So for four frogs the pattern is <br /><br />GS<br />BJ<br />BS<br />GJ<br />GJ<br />GS<br />BJ<br />BJ<br />BJ<br />BS<br />GJ<br />GJ<br />GJ<br />GJ<br />BS<br />BJ<br />BJ<br />BJ<br />GS<br />GJ<br />GJ<br />BS<br />BJ<br />GS<br /><br />A symmetrical pattern or palindromeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15628310.post-22584262167638793832010-05-25T15:31:11.602-04:002010-05-25T15:31:11.602-04:00why does the minimum number of moves always seem t...why does the minimum number of moves always seem to work out as one less than the square number sequence ie<br />2 frogs->8 moves(9-1) , 3 frogs ->15 moves (16-1) 4 frogs ->24 moves (25-1)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15628310.post-69355943564348994262010-03-17T14:36:56.561-04:002010-03-17T14:36:56.561-04:00Can you give a general statement which explains ho...Can you give a general statement which explains how to work out the number of jumps if you know the number of frogs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15628310.post-8359695107417026102010-01-24T15:05:44.127-05:002010-01-24T15:05:44.127-05:00easy.
