Solitaire Solutions

Some solutions for the board game: Solitaire (perhaps known to you as 'Peg Solitaire' or 'Marble Solitaire').

This is by no means a definitive list and there are certainly alternative and quite possibly more elegant solutions to those posted below. However, they will get the job done... and, if nothing else, save me the bother of having to work them all out (again!) the next time that lose all the solutions I know that I had written down.

I hope it all helps. Smiley

Notation

The image to the left shows the numbering for the spaces as used in each of the solutions listed below.

Each move is indicated with a pair of numbers:

FROM space X - TO space Y

Example: 17 - 5, moves a piece from space 17 to space 5 removing the intervening piece at space 10).


Blank grids, to aid in recording your own solutions, are available here: ???
