A simple peg-jumping game from Thinkfun. Start with an arrangement
of pegs, one of them orange; jump pegs over each other, checker-style,
until the orange one is left.
Pretty simple to explain. The famous puzzle designer Nob Yoshigahara left
a few puzzle designs in development at Thinkfun before he died, and this
was one of them. Anyone who has read David Beasely's "The Ins and Outs
of Peg Solitaire" (yours truly included) will probably find the
challenges too easy, but otherwise this is a pretty reasonable collection
of little puzzles.
