Exciting Puzzle to Refresh Your Brain

In 1883, Edouard Lucas a French mathematician has developed a puzzle game; Tower of Hanoi. In the game there is a tower which is having eight disks which are arranged in increasing order. The aim of the game is to transfer the disk from one tower to other pegs. You could move only one disk at a time. This game is based on the data structure and algorithms and its solution is well understood by the computer students. The solution of the puzzle depends on the two topics: recurrence relations and recursive functions and stacks. You have to move the disk from the left peg to right peg.

The Tower of Hanoi puzzle is interesting and it also requires you to think how to proceed. You need to make a strategy and understood the whole concept to win over the game. When you move the disk from right to left, then when its center reaches the peg then drop the disk. You need to follow the rules while playing the games. You cannot put the bigger one onto the smaller one. The logic game is a good choice of game to play with. These games allow you to think logically and find out the best solution to win the game. It is the wise way to discover the tricks to win the game.

While playing the game you need to follow the following rules:

1) You could move only one disk at a time.
2) While moving the upper disk from one peg to other makes sure that the disk is to be placed on the top of the other disk.
3) While moving the disk always remember to maintain its increasing order. No disk is to be put on the top of the smaller disk.

Achieving the goal in the Tower of Hanoi is difficult and frustrating. It gives challenges to the players to move the disk according to the games order. You need to follow the rule of the game. The whole game depends upon moving the disk from one peg to other. The disk is present to form Tower. Hence you need to play carefully and maintain the tower while movement. The important thing is to play logically to do the movements so to achieve the goal. The game is confusing and requires a complete planning to move the tower disk by disk and keep following the guidelines.
