note MistaMuShu Forgive me, but I'm not seeing how the last statements in the else loop get executed: <p><code>print "Move disk $num from $from to $to\n"; movedisks( $num-1, $aux, $to, $from );</code></p> <p>I jotted down the steps with 3 discs on a piece of paper and this is how I saw it:<p> <p><code> $numdisks = 3 movedisks( 3-1, A, C, B) movedisks( 2-1, A, B, C) print "Move disk 1 from A to B" for the base case </code> <p>Shouldn't the last two statements be right outside the else block?</p> <p>Neato problem, I didn't get it at first, but now I'm tempted to start my own 3-peg disc rotating habit. It all sounds very zen ;-) 400359 400359
