The 11th Hour Hints
Solution
1 of 8: Getting your spiders to move over as many segments as they can in a single "move" is critical to the solution.
2 of 8: Basically, the first thing you should do is try to clear out long uninterrupted paths for your spiders.
3 of 8: It takes four jumps to get a spider from one point to the one opposite it (e.g., top to bottom) on the figure. This is the longest of the possible paths (as long as you aren't wasting moves).
4 of 8: So you'll need to clear out a path for a spider that will allow it to get across the board in a single move.
5 of 8: After you do that, the solution should be straightforward. Read ahead if you want the answer.
6 of 8: Numbering the top space "1" and counting around clockwise, make the following moves:
6 to 1 (white) 8 to 3 to 6 (black)
7 of 8: 2 to 5 to 8 to 3 (black) 4 to 7 to 2 to 5 to 8 (white)
8 of 8: 1 to 4 to 7 (white) 6 to 1 to 4 (black) 3 to 6 (black)
