Solving 42-disc Hanoi Tower stack puzzle! (139461Years @ 1 Move/Second)

Показать описание

A computer generated animated film on solving 42-disc Hanoi Tower puzzle. Over four trillion moves to move the entire disc stack from left peg to right peg. At move rate of 1 disc per second, solving the puzzle takes 50 million days (139461 years or almost 1400 centuries). The clock at upper right corner telling the elapsed time (in seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years, centuries and 26000-year axial precessions) since the puzzle started at midnight of the first day of the first month of the first year. (Note: first 10 seconds of movie is in frozen mode to allow you to assess what is shown in the movie)

Rules of Hanoi Tower puzzle:

The Tower of Hanoi is a mathematical game or puzzle consisting of three rods and a number of discs of various diameters, which can slide onto any rod. The puzzle begins with the discs stacked on one rod in order of decreasing size, the smallest at the top, thus approximating a conical shape. The objective of the puzzle is to move the entire stack to the last rod, obeying the following rules:

--- Only one disc can be moved at a time.
--- Each move consists of taking the upper disc from one of the stacks and placing it on top of another stack or on an empty rod.
--- No bigger disc can be placed on top of a smaller disc.

A summary of Speedometer Display at Top Left corner

Units on speedometer are measured logarithmically (displayed as a number of digits of a given number). For example, a number 10 is measured as 1 in logarithmic number. 100 as 2. 1000 as 3. And so forth. The top half of the speedometer shows as the speed of Hanoi Tower moves. 1x being the normal speed. 10x being the 10 times the speed of normal speed. 100x being 100 times the speed. The bottom half of the speedometer shows as "odometer" or the number of completed moves within the Hanoi Tower. For example, 10 completed moves show as 1 in logarithmic number. 100 completed moves as 2. 1000 moves as 3. And so forth. 2 hand pointers are used to display speed and odometer. It may be confusing at first glance hence repeat viewing of the movie is recommended to understand the speedometer further.

A Summary Of Clock Display at top right corner:

Other than display of traditional hour-minute-second hands, dials are displayed clockwisely from top as follows: Earth's Axial Precession dial which takes 26,000 years to make a revolution, Day-Night dial which takes 24-hours to make a revolution, Moon-Phase dial which takes a month to make a revolution, 4-Season dial which takes a year to make a revolution, and Stages of Human Lifetime dial which takes a century to make a revolution.

Enjoy that video! :-)
