Solve triangle solitaire puzzle

From Rosetta Code
Revision as of 11:10, 20 June 2018 by PureFox (talk | contribs) (Added Go)
Solve triangle solitaire 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.

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 ... ?

  • 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!

build an hash of what can go where. Bits are numbered from 0 - peg#1 to 14 - peg#15.
