12. Crossing Sticks

Easy Medium Hard Extreme


The challenge in this puzzle is to end with 5 pairs of "crossed" matchsticks.

Matchticks are crossed by picking up one, jumping over 2 matchsticks by going either left or right, and then placing it onto the third one. For example, pick up matchstick number 4, jump over 5 and 6 and place it on 7 to cross it. Remember, a crossed pair counts as 2 matchsticks when jumping over it.

Can you achieve this in 5 jumps?
