'Plexus pleaser (Posted on 2004-05-08) Difficulty: 2 of 5
Place four coins on the bottom row of circles (p a e r) so that the word "Plexus" is showing.

Your aim is to slide the coins along the lines from one circle to another (no stopping half way!) to expose the word "pleaser" (noting that there is a difference between the capital 'P' and the small 'p'). There is only one catch: At no time are two coins allowed to be next to each other along a line.

So for instance, the coin on 'p' cannot move initially, or it would end up next to the coin on 'a'. Some of the lines are easily missed: note especially the u-r connection.

Jer,

(Rushing to Sam's defense....) There have been examples of reuse of problems on this site before, and this has not been discouraged.  We *do* encourage giving credit to the original author, and this is generally done when the solution is posted (to allow potential solvers time to solve the problem).

Further, in fairness to Sam, he *did* disclose (to us in the queue) that this is not his original problem, and I believe he already cited the original location in the, as yet, unposted solution.

I hope you understand why we encourage submission of "good" problems even if found elsewhere, and interpret this as a compliment to the problem and original author.

- SK
