Solve triangle solitare puzzle

From Rosetta Code
(Redirected from I.Q. Puzzle)
Solve triangle solitare puzzle is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

An   IQ Puzzle   is a triangle of 15 golf tee's.


This puzzle is typically seen at Cracker Barrel   (a USA sales store)   where one tee is missing and the remaining tees jump over each other   (with removal of the jumped tee, like checkers)   until one tee is left.

The fewer tees left,   the higher the IQ score.

Peg   #1   is the top centre through to the bottom row which are pegs 11 through to 15.

Racket

This example is incorrect. Please fix the code and remove this message.
Details: Should the output start 6 jumps 3, then 15 jumps 10 ... rather than 1 jumps 3, then 6 jumps 10 ... ?


Not so fast... The output is correct if one reads the statement differently. The first number is the arrival
position, the second number is the position where the peg is "jumped over" and is to be removed.

The position of where the peg jumps from is not indicated - but it can only be a single possibility in each case.
  • This includes the code to generate the list of available hops (other implementations seem to have the table built in)
  • It produces a full has containing all the possible results from all possible start positions (including ones without valid hops, and unusual starts). It takes no time... and once this is pre-calculated then some of the questions you might want answered about this puzzle can be more easily answered!

Oh and there are some useful triangle numbers functions thrown in for free!

Notes: This program uses a brute-force method with a string of 25 characters to internally represent the 15 spots on the peg board. One can set the starting removed peg and intended last remaining peg by editing the header variable declarations named Starting and Target. If one doesn't care which spot the last peg lands on, the Target variable can be set to 0. The constant n can be changed for different sized peg boards, for example with n = 6 the peg board would have 21 positions.
