    Here’s a fun fact, the Priests of Brahma apparently have a very big room and in this room they have this game, but they have 64 disks. It is estimated that this particular game will take around 600 billion years to complete!

    You know, I didn’t know speed was a factor in working this puzzle. I just wanted to do it. I created this animation in a program called Scratch(freeware). If I speed up my video, I can decrease the time considerably, and it will look terrible. I did it slow for instructional purposes and it makes a good screensaver. It looks great and is very colorful and easy to follow. Check it out with or without music

    65535 is the optimal number of moves for 16 rings. For 15, it would take only 32767 moves.

    But yeah, 32767 moves in a little more than 5 minutes? That’s nasty.

    Rocky, are you saying that you did 65535 moves in 5 minutes? Because that’s how many moves 15 rings would take you…

    it’s really pretty easy when you figure it out, and when you do you can pretty much do it with any number of rings.

    I always found those puzzles to be easy. You just have to focus on getting the larger bottom pieces slowly over peg by peg.

    8 Rings? Nice, though I once managed to do a 15 on a bit more than 5 minutes, though in a computer game, so every move save you at least a second.
