Off course I could do it, but only because I know it well. I also have a Sam Loyd post floating around here somewhere... Really great.

!st move took 3 attempts rest on 1 attempt.Great Puzzle.
took more than 10 min but still got it
WOW!
It tooks me 7 minutes to solve it. Thanks for this great puzzle!
Those were the days when people posted real puzzles 
ok i found this puzzle in gameknot as well o.O
it was a puzzle by Sam Lloyd, and tried 20 min on this (theres no answer button, and i never use hints; there is a hints button)... so i kept analysing... (its bad if you keep getting it "wrong, try again", bad for your stats). So i kept trying, and failing, so i just decided to move the knights in every single position... fail. Right, i moved a few more random moves (like 6) and suddenly got it! =D see if you can figure it out. I didn't, i randomly moved it there.
Challenge: do it in under 10 minutes without just moving a piece randomly for the sake of it, do it with thought and without cheating.
