Abstract—Many algorithms are available to solve the puzzle. Natural Algorithm (NA) developed and presented in this paper not only provides solution for the three tower and eight disks problem, but provides solution for multiple towers and multiple disks problem through minimum number of operations. Solution for sixteen towers and fifteen disks has been shown in the paper requiring minimum number of operations.

Index Terms—Natural Algorithm (NA), Towers of Hanoi (TOH), N-Tower Solution.
