The Tower Puzzle is based on the "Tower of Brahma" legend that predicted the world would vanish after 64 disks are transferred from tower to tower according to certain rules. You are challenged to transfer 15 disks, but you may wish to generalize your solution to 64 disks to solve the time required in ancient legend.
