And the answer is looking a lot like the puzzle known as the Towers of Hanoi.
When I was little, my Dad and I subscribed to a computer magazine. Each issue had lines and lines of BASIC code. We would type it in, letter by number, line by line and then hit ‘RUN’. We programmed this puzzle. Ever since it has fascinated me. You can play it here.
Did you enjoy it? did it drive you crazy?
It’s a lot like life. Its all about making little moves, one step at a time to get closer to where you want to be. Even though that place is only a few steps from where you started. You have to learn early on never to put a heavy load onto a foundation that cant hold it up. You have to keep a tight hold on your patience. You always have to think one or more steps ahead. You have to be prepared to accept that sometimes you will feel like you are moving backwards.
And just like life - its best played calmly, with all the time in the world, a cup of tea, and a quiet room all to yourself.

it drove me crazy, although also like life, I kept on thinking i was getting somewhere only to realise it was worse than I thought! I havent managed to complete it but I will persevere (the game that is...)
Do you really think life's out to set us schemes to outwit us? It can feel this way. Also, we look for schemes when there are none, fail to trust, and so miss the boat and regret it..what losers we can be.. ;-)
