took a few tries, but got it to work after I started thinking and stopped clicking. |

I messed up a few times as well, but this isn't actually a hard puzzle, all you have to remember is to check if a move is correct at any point (since you can find out if it was wrong right after) |

chinese children knows that frogs prefer to look at the opposite sex if they ahve a choice, so this puzzle cant be very challenging for them |

 This is the shuttle puzzle, but using frogs instead...it was a question on the usaco training pages...it asked you to output the moves to solve a N shuttle puzzle (where there are N frogs on either side and an empty space between them)...
There is an algorithm for this |

@A.J., I would like to see an algorithm for this, could it be done along the lines of dynamic programming with a BFS? it seems quite difficult to me |

not really, look at the puzzle and you will notice that at any point only 1 move is accurate and the inaccurate can be noticed right away (after making the mistake), so even dfs should probably work. |

maybe they are learnning logic, Portuguese, and computer skills all at the same time :] |

or maybe it's not a test at all; either way, it is still a nice puzzle. |

well considering how it's just basically clickity-click and requires no logic, I'd say this is a pretty lousy test. Maybe getting them to write a basic calculator or something would be a good test. |

it requires a bit of logic, if you just click randomly than you fail (unless you are really lucky) |
