Pebbling the Chessboard
It’s amazing how often sequences and series pop up in problem solving. In this deceptively challenging problem three discs are placed on a chessboard in a bounded region. The task is to move the pieces out of this region with the only complication being that pieces double when moved. After you’ve...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/pebbling-the-chessboard
