Towers Of Hanoi
Description
Macromedia Flash Mx is used to demonstrate the Towers on Hanoi problem. In this case, the number of pieces to move is reduced from the usual number of 8 discs, as this takes far too long to complete.
History
The Tower of Hanoi puzzle was invented by the French mathematician Edouard Lucas in 1883.
Further uses and ideas
The next step is to have the option for selecting how may pieces to use : more will be harder / longer to do.

By peter on 10/03/2012"did it in 10 moves" = something said by someone who is a troll and just wants to make people angry by making it seem like they were serious when the only reason they said that was to bring out the anger in people.
