Domino Chain Reaction

1. Place the largest domino first.
2. Place the next smallest domino so that the edge nearest the largest domino is one smaller domino width from the largest one.
3. Space each remaining domino a distance equal to its width from the next domino.
4. Knock over the smallest domino.

This idea was originally taken from: http://www.exo.net/~pauld/activities/mathematics/dominofall.html where a falling domino knocks over a larger domino, which in turn knocks over an even larger domino. Each domino is 1.5 times wider, higher and thicker than its predecessor. The largest domino is 4.5""x21""x 42"" and the smallest domino is 0.04""x0.16""x0.32"".
