Tower of Hanoi
English edit
Proper noun edit
- A mathematical puzzle or game which consists of three rods, and a number of disks of different sizes that can slide onto any rod. The aim is to transfer a stack of disks, one move at a time, to a different rod, while never allowing a larger disk to be on top of a small one.
- 2019, Adrian Tchaikovsky, Children of Ruin, Macmillan, page 153:
