If I correctly remember the minimum number of moves required to get all the disks from one tower to another, 10 layers is going to be a slog.
The minimum number of moves required to solve a Tower of Hanoi puzzle is 2**n − 1, where n is the number of disks. 1023 for 10 disks, 5011 for 9 disks (updated max disks in the game). Recursion to the max.
I might be just tired, but it took me a stupidly long second to get that minimum number of moves formula - not to nitpick, but isn’t that exp. usually written as 2^n - 1 ?
I don't know, it is not often that I use exp in writing, however:
Ah gotcha, TIL something.
