In the year 1883, Édouard Lucas invented a puzzle and named it as the Tower of Hanoi. This tower is also known as the End of the World puzzle or the Brahma Tower. Edouard Lucas was a mathematician of French origin, who got inspired by a prodigy that tells about the temple of Hindus, where a puzzle in pyramid shape is meant for the training of juvenile priests to empower psychological controls. |
The prodigy states that the priests belonging to this temple were provided with a pile of sixty-four gold, unequally sized disks, with three poles. Their task was to move all disks, settled on one pole to anyone of the other poles with a rule that a larger disk cannot be placed on top of the smaller one. The myth behind the temple says, the day this puzzle will be solved the temple will collapse and it will denote the end of the world.
The mathematics involved in the game forms an equation, which is formulated as 264 -1 or it may take counts equal to 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 to complete the game. If the priests in the temple worked in the daylight hours and nighttime to complete the puzzle, utilizing every second for a move, it is estimated that it would take them more than 5 hundred and eighty billion years to achieve the task. You can simply calculate that how many moves will be required to move the sixty four disks from one of the pole to other poles when you cannot place a bigger disk on the smaller ones.
