Knights Puzzle (Bathroom)
1 of 4: In case you don't know, knights in chess and in this puzzle move along a path in the shape of an "L" -- they can move two squares in one direction (but not along diagonals) and then one additional square in a direction perpendicular to the original. The knight can also jump over other pieces.
2 of 4: The goal of this puzzle is very similar to that of the bishop's puzzle.
3 of 4: You need to exchange the positions of the white and black knights.
4 of 4: And you can do that only by moving one knight at a time into the empty square, wherever that may be.
