Checker Circle
Arrange twelve checkers in a circle, like they were the numbers on a clock. Pick up one checker and jump over two other checkers, either clockwise or counterclockwise, and put it on the third checker. Using that same methodology, can you create 6 stacks of 2 checkers each?
Hint
Remember that a stack of two checkers still contains two checkers.Answer
12 onto 95 onto 8
2 onto 6
4 onto 11
1 onto 10
3 onto 7
That is one possibility. Rotational and reflective symmetry allow for many others.
