Hanoi Towers description

The "Towers of Hanoi" is a mathematical game. It consists of three rods, and a number of disks of different sizes which can slide onto any rod. The game starts when all the disks are arranged in a cone shape from the largest to smallest disk on the left rod.
The objective of the game is to move all the disks to the right rod, obeying the following rules:
1. Only one disk must be moved at a time.
2. Each move consists of taking the upper disk from one rod and sliding it onto another rod, on a top of other disks that may already be present.
3. No disk may be placed on top of a smaller disk.

The "Hanoi Towers" puzzle (also called the Tower of Brahma or Lucas' Tower) was first published by the French mathematician Edouard Lucas in 1883.
