I think this is a well known puzzle and there is an on-line version of this puzzle at http://www.hellam.net/maths2000/frogs.html
If its the same puzzle you change positions by using a mixture of jumps over a frog to a vacant lily pad or slide to a vacant neighboriing lily pad.
The solution for 3 of each starts: slide, jump, slide, jump, jump, slide.
You should now have the frogs intermixed with a vacant lily-pad at one end.
The total number of moves required is 15 (9 jumps & 6 sldies)
