Turm von Hanoi / Tower of Hanoi

Stations-ID: D023

Instructions:

An assortment of different sized round disks are stacked on a rod, sorted by size. The whole stack is to be moved to one of the other two rods. The following rules apply:

• Each move consist of moving one single disk from one rod to another
• A larger disc may never be placed on top of a smaller one
• Try moving only three discs at first, how many moves are needed?
• After you have solved the “3-disk-riddle”, add more discs.
• Count the amount of moves needed

The game is also famous under the name “Tower of Brahma” or “The End of the Universe” and was first described by the French mathematician Édouard Lucas (1842-1891).
