A friend sent me this today on an email and I just found it online.

Let's see how you guys do...

Exchange the positions of the brown and green frogs,

If your IQ is above 50, you can figure it out in less than 3 mins.

I liked this one. When you finally figure it out you're like DUH! It was that simple?!

OK I need a clue I'm not very bright today, bordering on insane with these games...

OK, I just wrote down a rule to get it out. It's 41 words long. Let's see who can claim the shortest rule that works.

I'm telling it is true move a green frog first, then stop and think how can I keep these frogs moving from one

That sounds suspiciously like a lookahead strategy, Carla. Can you really stack and unstack in your head? How deep?

I did it....

I wasnt paying attention to the time but I would say it had taken me about 10 resets.

This is the part where you tell me I have the IQ of a goldfish right?

After the G-B-B-G-G-G

Sigh, I give up. But I am tired, and my frustration level is very high this evening. I may just pass untill tomorrow...or next week some time...or when I am on vacation...next year.

How close to 41 words did you get your rule down to, Marie?
