 * Grasshoppers' Quadrille
 * It is required to make the white men change places with the black men in the fewest possible moves.
 * There is no diagonal play, nor are there captures.

 * The white men can only move to the right or downwards, and the black men to the left or upwards,
 * but they may leap over one of the opposite colour, as in draughts.


 * It is quite easy when once you have hit on the method of solution.
