Hanoi's Towers

The Tower of Hanoi is a mathematical game or puzzle

The Tower of Hanoi is a mathematical game or puzzle. It consists of three rods, and a number of disks of different sizes which can slide onto any rod. The puzzle starts with the disks in a neat stack in ascending order of size on one rod, the smallest at the top, thus making a conical shape.

The objective of the puzzle is to move the entire stack to another rod, obeying the following simple rules:

1. Only one disk can be moved at a time.

2. Each move consists of taking the upper disk from one of the stacks and placing it on top of another stack i.e. a disk can only be moved if it is the uppermost disk on a stack.

3. No disk may be placed on top of a smaller disk.

With three disks, the puzzle can be solved in seven moves.

The game supports different modes of disk moving: you can drag and drop them to or move by clicking on the disk and the pyramids.
