THE HANOI TOWER

Is an individual board game consisting of a number of perforated discs of increasing radius


that are stacked by inserting them into one of three posts attached to a board.

The puzzle was invented by French mathematician Édouard Lucas in 1883.


The game, in its most traditional form, consists of three vertical posts. On one of the poles,
an indeterminate number of discs (made of wood) with holes through their center are
stacked, which will determine the solution.

The objective of the game is to move the stack to another of the posts following certain rules,
such as that a larger disk cannot be placed on top of a smaller disk.
