Roll to Solve a Tower of Hanoi Puzzle (It has been solved)
« on: December 18, 2021, 10:14:10 pm »

You awaken in a room, clueless about why and where. The room is a circle of smooth white walls, white floor, and a white ceiling. A circle of electric lighting runs between the wall and ceiling, all the way around the room. There are two solid looking doors across from each other, smooth and with no doorknobs. On one wall between the two is a speaker. On the wall opposite the speaker hangs a simple street sign, with a picture of a monk meditating.

In the middle of the room is a Tower of Hanoi puzzle. There are three sturdy-looking wooden poles as tall as the average man's neck. On one of the side poles is a stack of seven large stone disks. The largest is at the bottom, and each is smaller than the one beneath it. They are thick enough that the seventh reaches the top of the pole. They look heavy.

You might have tools or special abilities that will help you solve this difficult and exciting challenge, but you'll have to roll to equip them.

Stay calm and focus on figuring out what steps are necessary to solving the puzzle. Figuring out how to physically manipulate it can come after.

Where things live that aren't so different from you, but you will never live to touch them and they will never live to touch you.

Turn 1

Spend 100 omni-gel to skip the puzzle.
{5} - You pull 100 omni-gel out of your pocket and form a SKIP button. You press it, and the puzzle solves itself. Congratulations! The doors open and you both go free!

Traditionally, you move disk 1 to another pole, then disk 2 to the last blank pole. Disk 1 then goes on disk 2, and disk 3 goes onto the newly freed slot. You then move disks 1 and 2 onto disk 3, one at a time, and on it goes. Skipping it also works, but I was hoping for a more explosive solution.

Oh well. Leave the room.
