The ancient puzzle of Pegboard Solitaire is known to most people and can be solved through the methodical elimination of pieces. In this book the puzzle is updated simply by numbering the pieces, but this alters the game dramatically. With each jump the number of the piece making the jump is noted. The total is accumulated following each jump and the objective is to find the unique solution that results in the lowest overall total. The book consists of 100 set problems which will enhance your visualization and calculation skills. The problems increase in difficulty from easy to very hard.
