• You may move only one disk at a time.
• You may not stack larger disks on top of smaller disks.

1)     Move the disc from 1st peg to other peg.

• If your move is legal (the dragged disk is smaller than the top disk on the new peg), the disk will remain on the peg. Otherwise the disk will snap back to its original peg.
• The display showing the number of moves you have made in the current problem will increase by one.

2)     After the disc completely move to the end peg (3rd peg). Massage “Congratulations!” displayed and shows the number movement. The less movement is the better result.
