please tell me, i think the output should be 5
at first there are 3 box must be change
(1 1 1) (2 3 3) (1 2 2)
1st move : (1 1    ) (2 3 3  ) (1 2 2 3) (hand at box 3)
2nd move : (1 1    ) (2 2 3 3) (1 2 3  ) (hand at box 2)
3rd move : (1 1    ) (2 2 3  ) (1 2 3 3) (hand at box 3)
4th move : (1 1    ) (2 2 2 3) (1 3 3  ) (hand at box 2)
5th move : (1 1    ) (2 2 2  ) (1 3 3 3) (hand at box 3)
6th move : (1 1 1  ) (2 2 2  ) (3 3 3  ) (hand at box 1)

but the 6th move from box 3 towards box 1, so it "doesn't
take into account", so, the output is 5 ?????? pls explain
me about this :(

I think you misunderstand this problem. The prob say that
the movement to the first box you choose "doesn't take into
account" not to the box number one. For ex, in 1st move,
you take hand to box 1( "doesn't take into account" ), take
mosaic 3 to box 3 and continue as you say. The 6th move
will take into account.
Hope you understand.
