This is not an acceptable order question, which is unusual for the first question of a game. This type of question being first is normally a sign you should have made a bunch of upfront deductions.
However, in this case I actually used this question to figure out the game. I figured out the two main scenarios faster than I could have if I had just stared at the setup. I found having to work through answers on this question let me understand the structure of the game better.
Through trial and error, I realized the mulches had to be close together, since having stone beside the mulch in spot 5 would lead to two transfers.
So, placing mulch in fourth and sixth makes things easy. E is CORRECT. It leads to a total of two transfers.
Note that there are no restrictions on what can be stone, as long as you keep transfers to a minimum.
This game is an unusual game. I find that on unusual games, I often figure out the setup better while doing the questions. On more standard games, you can do the setup upfront, but that’s only because you’re familiar with the forms.
