Sorry, I should write in a clearer manner. I find Bob's problem interesting. I meant my attempt at solving it was inelegant and clumsy.

Actually, having conditions or stipulations would make the problem even more challenging. For example, the checkers on the five point have to be the back checkers. Also, either of the back checkers cannot land on a point already occupied by its own checker(s). That is, each of the back checkers must clearly maintain its identity throughout the journey to the five point.
