Always in this series ( 2451, 2484, and 2478 ).

Now we are in color (1 for red and 2 for white). Your task is always to count the minimum number of movements required to align the 3 blocks in each colors (vertically or horizontally).

• [0 0 0 0 0 0 0;
• 0 0 1 2 0 0 0;
• 0 0 0 0 0 0 0;
• 0 0 1 2 0 0 0;
• 0 0 1 2 0 0 0;
• 0 0 0 0 0 0 0;
• 0 0 0 0 0 0 0]

In this example you can move down the first two blocks ( in two moves ).

Note that blocks can be swapped .

In this second example :

• [0 0 0 0 0 0 0;
• 0 0 0 0 0 0 0;
• 0 0 1 2 0 0 0;
• 0 0 2 1 0 0 0;
• 0 0 1 2 0 0 0;
• 0 0 0 0 0 0 0;
• 0 0 0 0 0 0 0]

Here you win in only one move by swapping the two central blocks.

Good luck !
