Answer
:
Number the fish
baskets in the illustration from 1
to 12 in
the direction
that Brother Jonathan is seen to be going.
Starting from 1,
proceed as
follows, where "1 to 4" means, take the fish from basket No. 1 and
transfer it to basket No. 4:—
1 to 4, 5 to 8, 9 to 12, 3 to 6, 7 to 10, 11 to 2,
and
complete the last
revolution to 1, making three revolutions in all.
Or you can proceed
this
way:—
4 to 7, 8 to 11, 12 to 3, 2 to 5, 6 to 9, 10 to 1.
It is easy to solve
in four revolutions, but the
solutions in
three are
more difficult to discover.
