Yann's Mancala Problem was created by the French mathematician David Yann in 1997. It was first posted on the newsgroups rec.games.abstract, sci.math and rec.puzzles. This very interesting solitaire is based on the mancala group of games. It was solved by the mathematician Bill Taylor a short time after. Taylor, who is living in New Zealand, has invented another Mancala game called Superwari. The proof, a theorem about finitely checkable procedures, is utterly non-constructive. The solution shows that there is always a series of moves which can bring the game from a distribution A of the tokens to a distribution B.
