Each binary number is read from the right until the first "1" is encountered.

The position of that "1"


from the right indicates the disk to move. If there is no other "1" in the binary number, that disk is
moved to an empty peg. The second "1" from the right indicates the location of the reference disk. If
there are no or an even number of zeros between these two "1"s (the first two "1"s from the right), the
moving disk is moved so as to cover the reference disk. If there is an odd number of zeros between
these two "1"s, the moving disk is moved so as NOT to cover the reference disk.
