I know for a fact that one of you HAS 2 know what Im talking about. I haven't played it since my great grandma was alive but recently remembered it and now I jus wanna play it so bad.
Its like a palm sized wooden triangle. With holes and pegs that go into the holes. You use a peg to jump over another peg like you do in checkers. You have to keep jumping until you cant any more.
Colors are Foreva. Numbers are Infinite. 4 every number there's a color. HEY! Eternity! Lets smoke a beer and drink some loud. But wait! I heard you was a six a plus a 6 ahhhh.

I don't know that it has a name but it is one of the most common mechanical puzzles there is. I used to see them on the tables at Cracker Barrel. They sometimes have golf tees in the holes. They often have a score system that challenges you to leave as few pegs as possible, one being the best.
I just googled "triangle IQ test" and came up with a page that echoes exactly what I just wrote but with a lot more detail: http://www.danobrien.ws/PegBoard.html |

The generic name is triangular peg solitaire. Google that name, and you should find plenty of resources about it.

Check your local dollar store. They are often packaged with similar puzzles with different hole arrangements. The fact that these are common just reflects tha fact that they are easy to build and the rules are easy to understand. They are very nice puzzles in their own right.
