Towers of Hanoi (Posted on 2003-09-07) Difficulty: 3 of 5
You have three small poles and five hoops - XS, S, M, L, XL (as in extra small, small, medium, large and extra large). They are placed on pole 1 in order, with largest at the bottom.

You can move one hoop at a time, and the hoops you are not moving have to be on a pole. You also cannot place a hoop on top of a smaller one. How can you move the hoops so that they are in the same order as they are now, but on pole 3?

You are right. I added two rather than one at one point. I will correct that post, now that we have that ability.
