This is our genius?!

Back in the 70's there was a Warner Brothers cartoon that had a cat whose owners thought was "special"
because he played the piano. It was really a mouse who played, and the cat pretended. Upon
examination by scientists, it was discovered through a cranial x-ray that there was a peanut in his
head. The exclamation from one of the scientists was "This is our genius?!"

Anyway, here's one of our daughter's attempts to solve this puzzle at breakfast this morning.
I don't even think it gave a score for leaving that many pegs!

Edit: Doh! I guess my genius level was off too! Thanks to Mr. Pickles and Jane for pointing out
the "should have been" obvious.

LOL@your narrative - I don't know the game either, but I sympathise with your daughter - brain-games and breakfast just don't mix, it's too early in the morning for the grey cells to be working!!! :o))

Wow, trip down memory lane! I loved doing this on road trips and at home. Haven't played this game in a while. Nice colors, Carl.

I'm not familiar with this game, but showed your photo to my husband and he said "Oh yeah, we played that at Grandpa's!" (And that would be 40 years ago.)

According the rules we followed, I see at least four more moves. Keep at it. Nice colorful shot.

That is hard to do, but that isn't a dead end. On the left, the white can jump the yellow, then jump the blue on the bottom. That eliminated 2 more. Then the white at the far point can jump down the left side, and the one on the right can jump towards the far point. She can do it...
