--- Towers of Hanoi is a puzzle with three rods and n disks of decreasing size.
--- The disks are stacked on top of each other through the first rod.
--- The aim of the game is to move the stack of disks to another rod while
--- following these rules:
--- 1. Only one disk can be moved at a time
--- 2. You may only move a disk from the top of one of the stacks to the top of another stack
--- 3. No disk may be moved on top of a smaller disk
--- The function ;hanoi; computes the sequence of moves to solve puzzle.
