I love it. Fantastic.
Can you think of a way to re formulate the puzzle so that you can express the rules without words?
Also, the dog / rabbit dynamic (as used in the classic dog/duck/grain river crossing puzzle) made me think that I had to chase the rabbits with dog, or that dogs and rabbits couldn’t share a node. Different animals might be better — rabbit and mouse, perhaps? Or even different coloured rabbits and different coloured carrots?
The words thing though — that’s what you should work on next, I think. Good puzzles like this are word-free in the puzzle itself (Stephen’s sausage roll, English country tune).
It would take this puzzle from great to excellent. Good luck. More please!

Yes, I assumed first that no two animals could share a node at all until I was near the end (and saw that it would be necessary), and I still assumed that rabbits and the dog couldn't share a node ("the dog will eat the rabbit!") because of the river crossing thing, until someone in this very comment thread mentioned an unsolvable state that involved getting the dog a rabbit on the same node.
- 01100011 4y ago> saw that it would be necessary FYI It's not necessary to solve the puzzle. Also it seems to have issues on FF/Linux because when I did stack a dog and a rabbit I could only then select the dog.
- marcushill 4y agoIt is necessary to stack the rabbits on each other at the carrot, no?
- 01100011 4y agoOh haha, yeah I guess so then. Sorry, I missed that.
- benj111 4y agoI did it without stacking until the very end. I wasn't sure if you just needed to get 1 rabbit on the carrot, or what.
- megapatch 4y agoIt is common knowledge that rabbits stack rather naturally.
- hnbad 4y agoDon't stack your rabbits. That's how you end up with extra rabbits.
- benj111 4y ago>Can you think of a way to re formulate the puzzle so that you can express the rules without words? I'm imagining Haskell with emojis now.
- mypalmike 4y ago> formulate the puzzle so that you can express the rules without words? Perhaps just a picture of the state icon (or one with a slash through it) and have it "light up" when the condition is satisfied.
