FIFTEEN RULES
Fifteen consists of a rectangular playing board containing 16
tiles placed in a 4 by 4 layout. The tiles are number from 1 to
15, starting at the top of the layout going left to right. The
16th. tile is blank and is placed on the last location following
tile number 15.
This is the original order of the tiles. When the game starts,
the tiles will be laid out in a reverse order. Your goal is to
place these tiles back into their original order. This is done
by moving one tile into the blank space on the board. The tile
you are moving into the blank space must be adjacent to the
blank space. You continue moving your tiles around the board
until you've restored your tiles to their original order. It's
a piece of cake.
