How to Start
You are on patch of land at the upper left. What you have to do is make a series of leaps
between the ice floes that will take you to the land at the bottom right corner. Each floe has a number that indicates how
far you must leap - across or down, not diagonally! When you decide which floe you want to land on, click or tap there.
History
The design of this puzzle is by Robert Abbott but the original idea comes from Sam
Loyd’s puzzle, “Back from the Klondike,” which was first published in Loyd’s newspaper column in 1898.
“Back from the Klondike” is a very complicated puzzle as it uses a huge grid of 325 numbers. Loyd used the puzzle
as a contest in the newspaper, and he made it overly complex so he wouldn’t get too many correct entries. You can have a
look at
the original puzzle.
