RULES:
The object of the single player puzzle game is to move the tower from one post to another post. Layout the board with the tower on any single post with the largest disc on the bottom and descending in size so the smallest is on top. You may only move 1 disc at a time to any of the 3 posts as many times as you like. You may not move a bigger disc on top of a smaller disc. Move the entire tower from one post to another to win!

The thing with this puzzle is that after you've learned how to solve the puzzle, it's no longer a puzzle but a chore

This is a classic puzzle in computer science, as the solution and number of steps is a great introduction to recurrence. The tower of Hanoi features in the first chapter of the textbook Concrete Mathematics, and one of the exercises includes determining how many steps it would take for a four-post Tower of Hanoi

How long does this take?
P = number of pieces
2^P - 1 steps. (optimal)

Also, there is an official number based on the Tower of Hanoi; the minimum of moves required to complete the tower of Hanoi.

See once you learn that you can just count in binary to solve it (with some specifications) you can solve it for any amount of discs

I remember these from the Professor Layton games, definitely a pain in the arse to complete 🤣

Having the stack start from the middle is weird to me, since I always do it from the left to right.
Still a really nice game.

Hey. I created a game that uses a uno regular deck to play and it's pretty cool (I've being playing it a lot with my family).

If I teach you the rules, and you like it, would you consider creating a video teaching it?

It would be a dream come true to know that more people are having fun in a game I created

I remember we made a code that needed your numbers of the disks and the code would generate a way to do the puzzle 👍

As a Vietnamese, the “Hanoi” word was a capital in Vietnam

The object of this game is to make programmers cry when learning dynamic programming

Tower of Hanoi?
That is like trying to organize the Switch games you have between two SD cards.

I think I’ve solved one of these with 8 or 10 discs

[adrianwoodruff]

So that's the name of the puzzle.
