Abstract

Providing the example of a disc whose number of moves performed in some minimal solution for the Tower of Hanoi problem is not a power of 2, we show that the argument given in a paper by Demontis in this journal is false and the method incapable of solving the Prame-Stewart conjecture on the Tower of Hanoi with more than three pegs.
