MATERIALS
- Three vertical pegs or rods
- A set of differently sized discs
HOW TO PLAY
1
Stack all the discs on the first peg in order of size, with the largest disc on the bottom and the smallest on top.
2
Move discs one at a time, taking only the topmost disc from any peg for each move.
3
Place a moved disc on an empty peg or on top of a larger disc, never on top of a smaller one.
4
Plan your sequence of moves to gradually shift the smaller discs out of the way while relocating larger ones.
5
Repeat this process, moving discs among the three pegs, until the full stack is rebuilt in its original size order.
6
The puzzle is complete once every disc has been transferred to a different peg from where it started, in the same stacked order.
