+## Description
+
+Based off of this [paper](https://mathweb.ucsd.edu/~ronspubs/95_03_pebbling.pdf)
+and this [youtube video by numberphile](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFQGSGsXbXE).
+
+It is an impossible puzzle game that's supposed to be played on an infinite chessboard.
+Three pebbles are positioned in the bottom left, at positions (0, 0), (0, 1), and (1, 0).
+You are allowed to remove a pebble by placing two other pebbles; one to the top
+and one to the right of the pebble which is to be removed.
+The objective is to have no pebbles at any of the starting positions (0, 0), (0, 1), and (1, 0).
+
+

+
+This is one of many of my older projects which I never used git with.
