A friend told me to try this and I thought
it was pretty tricky to work out...

The River Test

It took me around 10mins to work out, then
3 more times to improve my stats.
My last time was 17moves and 53seconds.

I love this sort of thing, great to blow the
cobwebs off the old brain, let me know what
you think.

test and pick the free one.**

4 mins 13 seconds, but an inefficient 21 moves since I made some mistakes.

I'm sure I've done something similar before online, with animals instead of people.
