Dance Floor puzzle
If you have moved any spiders talk to Allan (The raven next to Minstrel Web) and ask him to reset, then click on the following colours: ''P.S.: This is only one of many ways to solve the puzzle. Shown here is an example of the fastest (5-move) solution.''
 * Turquoise
 * Green
 * Red
 * Orange
 * Purple

Every spider can be thought of as having two states; "binary" spiders in a sense. They can either be "off" the correct tile, or "on" it. Choosing to move a spider may change the state of either one or two spiders, not necessarily the chosen one, as follows:

The blue spider moves the beige and red spider. The pink spider does the same with pink and orange. The purple spiders moves herself (purple) and the pink spider. Red moves oranges and oranges moves Turquoise. Turquoise moves the red spider and the beige spider. The beige spider moves the green spider and the purple spider. The green spider moves herself (green) and the blue spider.

Go back to the spider to complete this task.
