Try this puzzle out .......

Puzzle can be found at: http://www.eyetricks.com/iqtest/game.htm


A little hint for you - it is possible to leave 10 balls, but you need to start the game with the 1 empty slot in one of 3 positions (I'll let you work out which 3 they are :twisted: ), otherwise you'll be at it all night :shock:

Have fun :wink:

QUESTION:
If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??

Good idea - if you showed where the 10 balls ended up - it'd make it a lil' easier for people to figure out and we wouldn't want that now, would we :twisted:

The way I sussed this was to work out where 10 balls could be left without there being any more possible moves. Then work backwards to the starting position. Have fun :?

That's the making of a computer programmer you have there! In fact, solid logic for life, methinks ;)

The puzzle's a good un, and if you sit there random clicking you may eventually find it... but test your IQ and try what moonbeam says.

I get the hint now. And its alot easier if you think about where you cant get any more moves first.
