"Peg Solitaire"
 
   I was very interested in the package-purge method of playing peg solitaire, but I'm a bit confused and was hoping you could help me. I have practiced the 3-purge and have it down pat, but become confused when attempting a 6-purge. Following the illustration in the center of the page, I complete 1 and 2, but that leaves no catalysts left for 3. How do I go about finishing off the board, especially when there are two other 6-purges left? (And let's not even get started on that L-purge...)

Thanks -

j
