I was trying to think of a new way of approaching the Towers of Hanoi problem and came up with this instead!

Dear Clive, thanks a lot for the new puzzle! After some time brooding over it I feel myself still completely at loss. Though I still have vague hope of catching the idea...

As a sidenote, I greatly like the story :) Author of the book "programming of games and puzzles", mentioned in some problems here few times (Jacques Arsac) coincidently also created some story about more usual variant (4-stack version of Hanoi Tower). It is titled "Sad end of Pascal Jr", takes several pages and is more in style of realistic horror-fantasy". I'm much relieved with this much more optimistic tale!
