Description:

The Puzzle consists of three pegs and a number of discs of different sizes which can slide onto any peg. The puzzle starts with the discs neatly stacked in order of size on one peg, smallest at the top, thus making a conical shape.
The object of the game is to move the entire stack to another peg, obeying the following rules: – Only one disc may be moved at a time. – No disc may be placed on top of a smaller disc.
The game seems impossible to many beginners, yet is solvable with a simple algorithm.
