Abstract
- The article presents the Tower and Glass Marbles problem, which is considered as a good vehicle for studying algorithmic reasoning at various levels of mathematical problems. It explores the one- and two-marble cases, which determine which floor from a building will the marble breaks as it is dropped. Also included is the Catseye Marble company which uses the same process of dropping marbles from various levels of its story office tower.
