Description:
According to legend an order of Buddhist monks in Hanoi has been engaged for many years in the following task.
The monks have 3 rods and a set of circular discs of different sizes; each disc has a hole in the centre which allows it to be slid onto any of the rods.
Initially the discs were all placed on a single rod, one on top of the other in order of decreasing size, so that they formed a single tower as its initial state.
The task the monks have set themselves is to transfer this original tower to one of the other rods, moving only one disc at a time and ensuring that no disc ever rests on top of a smaller one.
The labor involved in carrying out this task is said to be spiritually uplifting, and the monks believe that its completion will herald the end of the world.
