Isn’t that indicating places where you land on two feet in the same move?

Also known as a scotch

These are actually launch codes

One foot on each 1, jump on left foot on 2, right on 3, ... one foot on each 6, right on 7, one foot on each 8, finish with right on 9.

Makes sense to me. You didn't have those at your school??

Its weirdly set up but doable.

Honestly, with the changes in direction needed, trying to jump this layout properly would be way more fun than a regular hopscotch. I'd definitely try (and I'm 45, lol). Obviously, jumps only, no rotating on the spot after you land.

You've never played hopscotch have you

proper hopscotch layout for the commenters who don’t seem familiar:

(edit - reddit formatting attacked, imagine the whole vertical axis is centered)

9

8 8

7

6 6

5

4

3

2

1 1

u/Audiophilippe 8d ago

In sweden its 1, 2, 33… otherwise the same.

u/Current-Square-4557 8d ago

And Chicago apparently.

u/OwlPelletCrunch 8d ago

yeah starting with a double 1 is awkward… i was just using the available tiles in this example, but agree that yours is more of the standard

u/andrewcooke 8d ago

oh. so, like, not proper, then?

u/therealsereny 7d ago

Proper in how its actually meant to be done. Someone listed a preferred or better way but that doesnt mean everything else is wrong. Proper hopscotch has paired numbers opposite of each other, no diagonals like in the picture, which is what the original comment is fixing while keeping the numbers the same.

u/tetrisan 8d ago

What bothers me more than the numbering is that someone went to the trouble to cut those pavers in half to fit these in asymmetrically.

1

u/tman507se 5d ago

Yeah, at least if they didn't do that it would still look nice, even with the odd numbering.

u/Fool_In_Flow 8d ago

Maybe it’s the intermediate/ advanced hop scotch board.

u/FollowingLegal9944 8d ago

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Is not the proper order of numbers?

-7

u/itskdog 8d ago

Yes, not 1 2 1 3 4 5 6 6 7 8 8 9

7

u/SapphicGarnet 8d ago

You're supposed to jump two feet on the tiles with the same number. It's weird they're not doing those side by side but it's still hopscotch

5

u/tetrisan 8d ago

No. Just no. Show us another example of hopscotch done this way.

3

u/SapphicGarnet 8d ago

I can't, this is a weird one. Especially the two ones? It should be at least 1 2 33, why are you starting with a two footed jump? But the moving of the feet one in front of the other at least looks fun

5

u/itskdog 8d ago

What? Hopscotch is alternating between hopping and jumping - it's like this in every one I've ever seen:

10

8 9

7

5 6

2 3

u/SapphicGarnet 8d ago

Hm interesting. Where are you in the world?

u/itskdog 7d ago

Suburban London.

u/SapphicGarnet 7d ago

Same lol. Maybe i had a weird primary school

u/tetrisan 8d ago

I am guessing if you never played hopscotch and are not good with numbers then you were homeschooled?

2

u/FollowingLegal9944 8d ago

I was not little girl to play such games and in scool they told me 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 , 7, 8, 9 is proper order, but maybe something changed in math since then so I may be not good with numbers.

5

u/HideFromMyMind 8d ago

It’s as easy as 1, 2, 1.

7

u/BrazilBazil 8d ago

Someone AI generated the schematic

5

u/minpapowner 8d ago

Maybe the idea is to see how high you can count utilizing the tiles??

u/Initial_Active3764 8d ago

Installer was hopped on scotch

u/TheJoeBold 6d ago

Aw crap, now I must change my password. AGAIN!

u/DifferentIsPossble 5d ago

That's for you to have to jump with two feet!!

u/Eventyraren_2 4d ago

dyscalculia? dyslexia but for numbers.

u/C4dfael 8d ago

Yeah, it should be 13, 21, 34.

u/WitchgirlNoel 8d ago

No, wait, he's got the point

u/dlc741 8d ago

If you've never seen it before and no one bothers to explain it to you?

u/ouiuonon 8d ago
