The Frogs and Tumblers.
It is perfectly true, as the Professor said, that there is only one
solution (not counting a reversal) to this puzzle. The frogs that jump
are George in the third horizontal row ; Chang, the artful-looking
batrachian at the end of the fourth row ; and'Wilhelmina, the fair
creature in the seventh row. George jumps downwards to the
second tumbler in the seventh row ; Chang, who can only leap short
distances in consequence of chronic rheumatism, removes somewhat
unwillingly to the glass just above him—the eighth in the third row;
while Wilhelmina, with all the sprightliness of her youth and sex,
performs the very creditable saltatory feat of leaping to the fourth
tumbler in the fourth row. In their new positions it will be found
that of the eight frogs no two are in line vertically, horizontally, or
diagonally.
