Puzzle E4. EASTER CHESS PUZZLE
|
|
In a medieval kingdom, some hens would lay
golden eggs during Easter. As a thanksgiving for such Divine
providence, it is a tradition for this kingdom to have
these eggs donated for the benefit of the poor. In exchange for their
generosity, people who donated golden eggs would not be taxed for three
years. Every year during
Easter, the king would have his knight go throughout his kingdom to
collect these golden Easter eggs for the poor. Can you help the knight
collect these eggs in the shortest time possible? On the board below,
move the knight to all squares occupied by the golden eggs in 14 consecutive
moves, so that an egg is collected each move.
This puzzle is
INTERACTIVE in Java-enabled browsers.
To move the knight,
click on the knight and then click on an Easter egg. Repeat the
procedure until all the Easter eggs are collected.
