Purple and blue frogs

[charity-baker47]

This puzzle is driving me crazy!!! I know how to do it but keep getting mixed up.
A row of 7 lily pads 3 blue frogs on one side and 3 purple on other side middle pad is empty. Can you change them over in as few moves as possible? You can only jump over one frog in process

[factor-fiction]

found the game or successfully moved the frogs?

[factor-fiction]

Moved all the frogs to the opposite ends. I've just done it a second time. After Corrie I'll write down the stoops if anyone wants a solution

SPOILER- this works. Hope I've typed it properly


From left to right call them G3, G2, G1 B1, B2, B3
Move G1 forward. B1 jumps over G1
Move B2 forward. Let G1 jump over him
Let G2 jump over B1
Move G3 forward . Let B1 jump over G3
Let B2 jump over G2
Let B3 jump over B1
Move G1 forward to the end
Let G2 jump over B3. Let G3 jump over B2
Move B2 forward. Let B3 jump over G3
Move G3 forward to finish

Stoops? I meant steps.

I'll leave you to change green/brown to purple/blue
