Abstract
Here is presented a 6-states non minimal-time solution which is intrinsically Minsky-like and solves the three following problems: unrestricted version on a line, with one initiator at each end of a line and the problem on a ring. We also give a complete proof of correctness of our solution, which was never done in a publication for Minsky's solutions.
