This game is known in mathematical analysis as the “Towers of Hanoi problem”: you have to transfer the tower formed by discs from the first pile to the third pile by following two simple rules:
1) you can move one disk at a time.
2) you cannot superimpose a larger disk on a smaller disk.
The variant we propose is with 7 discs and 127 moves, but the Brahman monks will need 18 trillion and 446 billion moves to complete the transfer of the 64 heavy golden discs…..
Materials: beech wood.
Dimensions: 9x22x10 cm
