Description
This summer we explored a specific variation of the Tower of Hanoi puzzle: the disks can only move to an adjacent peg. In this way the game can be simplified to a loosely connected graph. We examined graphs on a single line, having connectivity 2 and bipartite using inductive proof and path-finding programs combined. We came to descriptions of shortest path solutions.
