Cluttered Cans (Tinned Trouble in the UK version) is a puzzle in Professor Layton and the Unwound Future.

Puzzle

US Version

Three canned-food products are randomly stacked up. You need to rearrange them into stacks of the same product.

However, if you want to move a can that has cans on top of it, you have to move them all at once. Also, you can't have more than six cans stacked up at a time.

Sounds easy, right? Oh...one more thing. You have to do it in six moves or fewer.
