Tower Of Hanoi: Childhood Toy Or Programmer's Nightmare?

Tower Of Hanoi: Childhood Toy Or Programmer's Nightmare?
That moment when you realize the Tower of Hanoi puzzle isn't just a cute children's toy but a recursive algorithm nightmare that haunts computer science exams. The thousand-yard stare says it all—we've spent hours implementing this "simple game" only to question our life choices when debugging the edge cases. Nothing like having your childhood innocence crushed by Big O notation!

The eternal developer struggle: writing code that runs lightning fast (0ms runtime, beats 100% of solutions) while also being memory-efficient (9.30MB, beats only 5.23% of solutions). It's like having two wolves inside you – one obsessed with speed, the other completely ignoring memory usage. That "Analyze Complexity" button is just waiting to crush your soul with the big O notation reality check. Meanwhile, every developer silently thinks: "Yeah, but it works on my machine, so who cares if it consumes RAM like Chrome tabs?"

When your professor spent 45 minutes explaining Big O notation and tree traversal algorithms, but you're over here just jamming everything into a HashMap because key-value go brrr. Sure, there are 57 other data structures specifically designed for your exact problem, but why waste time being elegant when you can waste memory being lazy?
