Sinterklaas math game with “gingerbread buttons”

It’s Sinterklaas season in the Dutch-speaking world and, of course, as we have started baking the traditional spiced cookies called kruidnoten (“gingerbread buttons”) Simon didn’t want to miss an opportunity to play a version of peg solitaire with eatable pieces!

Simon has baked these himself (together with Neva)
the winning strategy
Simon mixing the right proportion of spices, grinding clove (then adding nutmeg, white pepper, ginger, cardamom and cinnamon)
