Game.

9 pegs, 10 colors, cheating is for losers.

Show me what you got. I know I'm not that good.

That game looks too smart for me.

Edit: Played it. It seems familiar... but again, too hard for my fragile little mind.

At least you tried. I think I scared everyone else off. :[

It's main a matter of elimination. Try all one color in the first couple to see what colors you're working with and how many of each. If you have more than one of a color and one color thats not used, its easy. Just go about it logically to find were those two are using the color you know isn't in there to get them were they need to be. Then do the same with the single colors.

Well, best I managed was 9 moves. However, no screen-grab - you'll just have to take my word for it...

Tend to average about 13 moves, though...

The 9 move was more luck than judgement - it was a fairly friendly combination. The average is based around a fairly systematic process - I've done too much logic...

Still fun nonetheless

See now I have to do till I can do it in 9. 9 is the average it takes me to do the 5 color 6 peg. :[

So wait a moment....

If the dot is black, the right color peg is in the right spot.
If the dot is white, the right color peg is there but in the wrong spot.

If that is correct, I've been doing it wrong the whole time, and that explains why I haven't been able to win. XD **been trying to get white dots. >>;; **

hehehe, yeah black is right color AND right spot. White is right color but WRONG spot.

I usually start by just putting lines of all one color to see how many of each I have to work with. Rico = teh lazy :p

Putting in lines of all one color really helps o_O; I didn't even think of that. And because of that, I won two games, 11 and 13 moves, on a 6 color 5 peg game.

I'M HAPPY! 😀
