How to Do the Leap Frog Test
The Leap Frog test is a popular online brain teaser which tests your intelligence based on how quickly you can switch two sets of frogs to opposite lilypads or stones. The concept of the test is basic: three green frogs sit on three stones on the left, facing three brown frogs on three stones on the right. A lone stone sits in the middle. The object of the test is to swap the positions of the frogs, one at a time, in as few moves as possible.
