There's a fairy tale in our culture where hero needs to kill an Immortal King, and he asked for advice from old which that told him how to do it: - there's a Mammoth, inside it a wolf, and inside wolf a rabbit, and inside rabbit - a duck, and inside duck, an egg, and inside egg a needle, and once you break the needle, so the Immortal King will be dead.. So, to recap, in order to kill an Immortal King, one must kill mammoth, wolf, rabbit, duck, break an egg and here we are.. job done! Now what is good and cool for fairy tale, not that cool and and suitable for daily programming tasks.. If one needs to break a needle - there should be a way to do just that, without need to peruse through piles of dead animal victims to achieve the goal.
