carroll pig puzzle

A bewildering puzzle by Lewis Carroll: Place 24 pigs in these sties so that, no matter how many times one circles the sties, he always find that the number in each sty is closer to 10 than the number in the previous one.

	Select Click for Answer
Arrange the pigs as above. Now: 8 is closer to 10 than 6. 10 is closer to 10 than 8. Nothing is closer to 10 than 10. 6 is closer to 10 than 0. Simple enough!
