The Tower of Hanoi is a mathematical game or puzzle. It consists of three rods, and a number of discs of different sizes which can slide onto any rod. The puzzle starts with the discs in a neat stack in ascending order of size on one rod, the smallest at the top, thus making a conical shape. The objective of the puzzle is to move the entire stack to another rod, obeying the following simple rules: 1. Only one disc can be moved at a time. 2. A disk can only be moved if it is the uppermost disc on a stack. 3. You cannot place a bigger disc on top of a smaller disc.
