;;; Commentary:

;; Solves the Towers of Hanoi puzzle while-U-wait.
;;
;; The puzzle: Start with N rings, decreasing in sizes from bottom to
;; top, stacked around a post.  There are two other posts.  Your mission,
;; should you choose to accept it, is to shift the pile, stacked in its
;; original order, to another post.
;;
;; The challenge is to do it in the fewest possible moves.  Each move
;; shifts one ring to a different post.  But there's a rule; you can
;; only stack a ring on top of a larger one.
;;
;; The simplest nontrivial version of this puzzle is N = 3.  Solution
;; time rises as 2**N, and programs to solve it have long been considered
;; classic introductory exercises in the use of recursion.
;;
;; The puzzle is called `Towers of Hanoi' because an early popular
;; presentation wove a fanciful legend around it.  According to this
;; myth (uttered long before the Vietnam War), there is a Buddhist
;; monastery at Hanoi which contains a large room with three time-worn
;; posts in it surrounded by 21 golden discs.  Monks, acting out the
;; command of an ancient prophecy, have been moving these disks, in
;; accordance with the rules of the puzzle, once every day since the
;; monastery was founded over a thousand years ago.  They are said to
;; believe that when the last move of the puzzle is completed, the
;; world will end in a clap of thunder.  Fortunately, they are nowhere
;; even close to being done...
;;
;; 1999 addition: The `Towers of Unix' command (hanoi-unix) stems from
;; the never-disproven legend of a Eunuch monastery at Princeton that
;; contains a large air-conditioned room with three time-worn posts in
;; it surrounded by 32 silicon discs.  Nimble monks, acting out the
;; command of an ancient prophecy, have been moving these disks, in
;; accordance with the rules of the puzzle, once every second since
;; the monastery was founded almost a billion seconds ago.  They are
;; said to believe that when the last move of the puzzle is completed,
;; the world will reboot in a clap of thunder.  Actually, because the
;; bottom disc is blocked by the "Do not feed the monks" sign, it is
;; believed the End will come at the time that disc is to be moved...
