The Plot!
You are an intergallactic smuggler, traveling from planet to planet. For this magic trick,
I'm going to play detective, and no
matter where you go, I'm going to find you.
The Rules!
In a moment, I'm going to show you a grid containing some planets. You will place your
finger on one of those planets. I will
tell you the number of times to move from planet to planet. You may move up or down, left
or right, forwards, or backwards.
But NEVER move diagonally. Where you move is completely up to you. The possibilities are
endless.

| M A R S | SPACE | SATURN |
| SPACE | NEPTUNE | SPACE |
Right now, put your finger on one of the four planets you see above and keep it there.

To make my task even more difficult, I'm going to add some more planets to the grid, so keep your finger where it is.

| MERCURY | VENUS | EARTH |
| M A R S | JUPITER | SATURN |
| URANUS | NEPTUNE | PLUTO |
Right now move your finger 4 times, in any direction
except DIAGONALLY!
Either up, down, left, right, forward or backward!
| MERCURY | VENUS | EARTH |
| M A R S | JUPITER | SATURN |
| URANUS | NEPTUNE | SPACE |
I can see you're not on Pluto, so I will secure it by taking it away. Once a planet has been secured (removed), you may NOT move onto that space. But you still have 8 other planets on which you may move to. With your finger on the last planet you touched, move 5 more times to another planet.

I can see you're not on Saturn, so I will take it away. Move 2 times now to another planet.

You're not on the planet Neptune, so it's history. Move 3 times to another planet.

Hmm, it appears you're not on Earth, neither are you on Uranus, so I will take both of them away. Only 4 planets are left. Move 3 more times now to another planet.

A few moments ago, you were most likely on Venus, but you're not there now, so I will take it away. There are only 3 planets left now. Move 1 final time now.

Remember, you had a free choice every step of the way. You started where you wanted to, and you moved where you wanted to. Even though we are miles apart, I know exactly where you are.
