This is doing my head in

12 men become 13

Whittler Kev' (Curse that man!) sent me this in an email the other day. I looked at it and thought yeah easy peasy, then spent the next 20 minutes trying to figure it out. Gave up so I sent it off to a few people in my contact list who has a brain on their shoulders, (I included John Fenna as an also ran for that group )

He wrote back to say that printing it out shows how it's done, but I don't have a printer, so can't.

Anyway thought you might like to check out this conundrum for the end of 2012.

Wishing you all the very best for the new year folks, from yer old mate Biker.

Good luck figuring this little doozy out.

Looks like you've linked to the image from your email Biker, we won't be able to see it. Try hosting it else where on the web such as www.imgur.com.

D'oh! Figured I was trying to be too clever there. I've uploaded it to my photobucket account now, so hopefully it'll show up.

:aargh4: that is a tough one.

 

[Mesquite]

I worry about the deviously fiendish mind that thought that up in the first place...

Thanks a lot biker. I was just about to take the dog out when i opened this - twenty minutes ago.

The12 is made of rows of 3,2,2,3,2 and the 13 of 3,3,2,3,2. So, the second row from the left changes from two to three. I can't see how it's done though.

 

[treadlightly]

Ten white shirts in thirteen mode and only nine in twelve mode. So in switching around one white vest is lost. Not giving up yet.....

 

[Robbi]

we all got that far matey LOL !

 

[treadlightly]

How do you know without sharing? Time to walk the dog

I gave up ages ago when you sent it to me via email :rolleyes.

Now I'm just popping in occasionally to see if anyone has solved it

Nope, seen it sorted it. Don't count bodies, it's misleading

 

[treadlightly]

Ok phil, is it to do with the guy on the far left who gets a scalping in 13 mode?

 

[Harvestman]

Yep, solved it.
