I searched PerlMonks for towers of hanoi, but couldn't find anything. It is strange because there isn't any good reason not to golf this game. Since I'm not good at golf, I can provide only Ton Hospel's two solutions to the problem.

perl -wle 'print log(~$_&($_+1))/log 2 for 0..2**pop()-2' 3 perl -wle '$n=-1+2**pop;print log($n--&~$n)/log 2while$n' 3
It tells which disk to move for 3 disks. Replace the 3 at the end for the other numbers up to 32. There's always only one possibility since top disk goes where it has not been yet. Unfortunatelly it works only under 32.

      You don't just eviscerate a Ton Hospel solution, and walk nonchalantly away with a smug grin under your masked visage. Identify yourself, and the planet and star-system from which you hale.

        I'm allowed to eviscerate my own solutions ! Though this time Jukka Suomela helped a lot.
