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

:lol: 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.

the algorithm doesn't have to do with DP, BFS, DFS, etc...

look at 'empty space'...what do you notice to the movement of it?

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

Or maybe this is just a Grade 2 test from Brazil (and they accidentally added the word 'China' in there for some reason).

Possibilities...

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)
