The least number of moves in the Tower of Hanoi puzzle with 5 disks?
Please be patient and wait for a tutor with these math skills to answer you. It's Saturday afternoon, and apparently they aren't at their computers right now.
Please also know that posting a topic of "help" with umpteen exclamation marks won't get you any help any faster.
Thanks.

To find the least number of moves in the Tower of Hanoi puzzle with 5 disks, the minimum number of moves can be determined using a simple formula.
In general, the minimum number of moves for the Tower of Hanoi puzzle with n disks can be calculated using the following formula:
Minimum Moves = 2^n - 1
In this case, we have 5 disks, so substituting n = 5 into the formula:
Minimum Moves = 2^5 - 1
= 32 - 1
= 31
Therefore, the least number of moves required to solve the Tower of Hanoi puzzle with 5 disks is 31.
