Steve,I’m 60 years old and have been working those Switching puzzles in Model Railroader as long as I can remember, but I can’t tell you I’ve ever really understood what counts as a move. That is why I asked the question. I’ve tried to keep score, but I don’t know if I’ve ever come up with the same count as was published.
Sorry to hijack Bruce’s thread and I’m willing to take this somewhere else, but I think it is worth the discussion.
As far as the “Timesaver”, I get interrupted so many times, I’m just happy to complete the puzzle.
Ric,
Being a certified Delta Hotel, I was just pulling your chain. I, too, wonder about what counts as a switching move. The rules for the original Timesaver says that switching moves do not count, only time does.
