Walkthrough of the monk puzzle.

Here's a brief description: There are 4 monks, and each of them swaps certain rows with land tiles. Our task is to swap the rows until one of the land types lines up in a single vertical line, creating a "path" to the Grail. Here are some clarifications for the diagrams: Brother 1 (southwest) swaps rows 1, 2, and 3. Brother 2 (northeast) swaps rows 1 and 3. Brother 3 (southeast) swaps rows 3 and 5. Brother 4 (northwest) swaps rows 2 and 4. There are a total of 5 types of land in the puzzle: G - grass (green terrain) S - snow (snowy terrain) M - swamp (marshy terrain) R - rock (rocky terrain, usually near the Barbarian castle) D - sand While studying the diagrams, I discovered a pattern: each brother has his own system for changing the order of the land tiles in a row. And although the land tiles are swapped, they follow a consistent order – each monk has his own. Therefore, there are only 5 possible ways to change the land tiles for each monk. See the diagrams below: I'll tell you how I managed to solve it. Approach each monk 5 times, starting with the first and continuing in order. IMPORTANT: each monk's count must start with the same land tile (I started with the grass tile). Repeat this operation until the vertical strip forms a path. In my case, the swamp formed twice. I wish you good luck, and I hope I helped you solve the puzzle! Please write comments and let me know if you solved the puzzle using my method.
