This puzzle is a classic example of a problem of transformation, where the goal is to move an object (or set of objects) from one state to another, following a set of rules. In this case, the disks must be moved from one peg to another with the constraints that only one disk can be moved at a time and a larger disk cannot be placed on a smaller disk.
