PUZZLE 8 GAME

I admit I have trouble with these puzzlers, where all the tiles have to be rearranged into the correct order. While I was reviewing this game, my son said, "Wait," and then came over and solved it in 10 seconds! Okay. I give up.
Here's what the site creator has to say:
"The 8-puzzle, along with chess, tic-tac-toe, and backgammon, travelling-salesman, has been used to study new search algorithms, neural-network, and path-finding. It's usually one of the first instrument that computer-scientists use to test a new search algorithm."
