No twomover ever was really solved by a computer in that way (sadly I forgot who wrote such idea many years ago, I apologize for not being able to attribute it).

To commemorate this honour, I will give an insight into his abuse, life, and death. As I sit at my computer, I consider the person mainly responsible for this machine, a man described as the father of computer science and who lived and died at Adlington Road in Wilmslow.

This was for his role in creating the modern computer; the article stated: “The fact remains that everyone who taps at a keyboard, opens a spreadsheet or a word-processing program, is working on an incarnation of a Turing machine.”
