Jun 11, 2014 at 15:23 comment added Teun Pronk What should happen if you go beyond the last spot? Will you move back right away? 1 2 2 3 2. Would it go to the following positions 1 2 4 3 1 or should that print -1?

Oct 22, 2013 at 7:52 comment added Coding man @breadbox Yes. I agree, its ambiguous. I will update the question soon.
Oct 22, 2013 at 7:33 comment added Howard What is the winning criterion? As you tagged code-golf as well as code-challenge it is not clear.

Oct 22, 2013 at 4:54 comment added breadbox This description is confusing because "jumps" is used to mean two different things, and with only one actual example, it's difficult to disambiguate which meaning goes with which usage. I'd prefer a description which referred to, say, "jumps" and "moves". With this terminology, you would say that each move consists of some number of jumps. The numbers in the input provide the maximum number of jumps, and the output can be unambiguously described as reporting the minimum number of moves.

Oct 20, 2013 at 19:38 comment added Coding man @Daniel No. Number of jumps will be equal to the value stored at that position. The last position is always a candidate from which one can jump since this position was not used previously for jumping.
Oct 20, 2013 at 19:36 comment added Daniel Lubarov Thus, it should be clear that one can always jump from the last position. - isn't 1 0 a counterexample?
