The classical Tower of Hanoi (ToH) puzzle is well-known. It consists of three pegs and disks of sizes 1,2, . . . , n arranged on one of the pegs as a “tower”, in decreasing order of size, from bottom to top. The goal of the puzzle is to transfer all disks to another peg, placed in the same order. At each step, a single disk is moved from (the top of) one peg to (the top of) another, subject to the “divine” rule: to never have a larger disk above a smaller one.
