thanks to a really boring client call, i had a chunk of time to play. i am pretty sure that he could hear me clicking around, but i really don't care. ha!
i had to reset it and start over 4 times, but i finally got it.
this was as good one russ. got my brain going on this sluggish monday morning.
If you haven't yet figured out how to solve this puzzle in the most efficient way, look into the title for a hint (Junk's **HANOI**).
See http://superkids.com/aweb/tools/logic/towers/ for a description and history of the original puzzle.
Just FYI (maybe too much "I"), the original puzzle was solved in a minimum of (2^n)-1 moves, while Junk's version of the puzzle is solved in a minimum of (2/3)*(3^n)-1 moves.
