The tower of Hanoi (Q1813640)

The problem of the ``End of the world'' [\textit{W. W. R. Ball}, Mathematical recreations and essays. London: Macmillan Co. (1939; Zbl 0022.00101)] is related to the Tower of Brahma (Tower of Hanoi) in which the life period of our universe is estimated. In this paper the author has considered four different problems with three pegs and estimated the shortest path. Finally some remarks on open problems with more than three pegs have been made.
