Here's a different configuration for you to try. As with last time, you can move any ball on the board below as long as it satisfies the following conditions:

To move, jump your selected ball over an adjacent space occupied by another ball into an empty space on the other side. You can't jump diagonally.
Once you've made the jump, the ball you jumped over disappears from the board.
To complete the puzzle, you must remove all balls from the board except for one.

All right, get hopping!
