Pirates and Admirals

Effective Learning through Maths week one is almost over. The puzzles have been fun if a bit challenging. But if they weren't challenging they wouldn't be fun.

Here we have Pirates (black buttons) and Admirals (white buttons) attempting to cross a river in a boat that can only take two at a time. Simple and straightforward until you are told that pirates can never outnumber admirals on either bank.

Got there though.
