A triangular version of Peg Solitaire with 15 holes and 14 pegs. Numbering hole 1 at the apex of the triangle and thereafter from left to right on the next lower row, etc., the following table gives possible ending holes for a single peg removed (Beeler et al. 1972, Item 76). Because of symmetry, only the first five pegs need be considered. Also because of symmetry, removing peg 2 is equivalent to removing peg 3 and flipping the board horizontally.
remove | possible ending pegs |
1 | 1, , 13 |
2 | 2, 6, 11, 14 |
4 | , 4, 9, 15 |
5 | 13 |
