The game called the Towers of Hanoi was invented by the French mathematician Edouard Lucas in 1883 and since then it has been both a popular puzzle and a well-known mathematical problem that is an excellent illustration of the general concept of recursion. This puzzle is known by most mathematicians and a very large number of people who like either puzzles or elementary mathematical problems.

The problem is that you have to move the wooden circles from one to another without placing a larger piece on a smaller piece. Sounds easy enough until you try it.

All you say about this puzzle is true, and yours looks very attractive. When I taught teachers, I constantly recommended it because if a table is formed with a= the number of discs, b=the number of moves needed to move the tower, one can write a very nice exponential equation describing the function. I hope you renew the offering, for these are hard to find. Benedicta, O.S.H. also known as Andrea Sender E-Mail: benedicta_@osh.org

I remember I tried this when I was in college. I was so engrossed I lost all concept of space and time; and yes I did solve it. Eventually life goes on, and I lost the puzzle. I've been looking for one ever since. I'm a grandparent now and I'm estatic I've finally found another. Of course, I would start her out with only 3 discs; but you never know! She might turn out to be a quick learner.
