Mathematics game "Hanoi Tower"

Hanoi Tower was invented by the French mathematician Edouard Lucas in 1883. It is a kind of puzzle which consists of three pegs (link ones, middle ones and right ones), and a number of disks of different sizes which can slide onto any peg. The puzzle starts with the disks neatly stacked in order of size on one peg, the smallest at the top, thus making a conical shape.
The objective of the puzzle is to move the entire stack to right peg ones ordered, obeying the following rules:
* Only one disk may be moved at a time.
* Each move consists of taking the upper disk from one of the pegs and sliding it onto
another peg, on top of the other disks that may already be present on that peg.
* No disk may be placed on top of a smaller disk.

Tips: This game need patient and strategy of player. If the number of disks are less equal 6 its easy, but if more than 6 it will look complicated. Don't give up until you can solve it.
