Those pesky pirates are back once again! Move the pieces around the board according to the rules below, and turn all the pirates into sailors!
- Sailors and pirates can only move by leaping over pieces adjacent to them.
- Multiple sailors and pirates can be leapt over in one movement.
- Pirates that are leapt over will turn into sailors, and sailors that are leapt over will turn into pirates.
This puzzle can be solved in a number of ways. These hints will guide you through just one of the possible solutions.
First off, move the pirate on the left side of the top row over to the top-right corner.
Following on from Hint 1, move the pirate in the top-right corner down to the bottom-right corner.
If you've followed the previous two hints, the next moves are the important ones. Move the sailor in the middle of the right side up to the top-right corner, then move the pirate in the bottom right into the space the sailor just vacated.
Finished the puzzle should be easy from this position. Move the sailor at the top right down to the bottom right, and then across to the bottom left.
From there, all you've got to do is leap over the remaining pirates and the puzzle's complete!
