1,048,575 moves and I know because I did the math.
The number of moves required to solve the Hanoi tower is 2m + 1 . Therefore for a tower of five disks the minimum number of moves required is: 31.

To move n disks, you need 2n-1moves. In this case, 31.
2^64-1 = 18446744073709551615
2 with an exponent of n minus onen=number of disks
The Tower of Hanoi (also called the Tower of Brahma or Lucas' Tower, and sometimes pluralized) is a mathematical game or puzzle. It consists of three rods, and a number of disks of different sizes which can slide onto any rod.
There is a formula for calculating the number of moves. The formula is 2^n-1. This means that to move one disk the number of moves can be calculated as 2^1-1. For two disks the calculation is 2^2-1. Using this formula the answer 1023 can be found

The tower of hanoi was invented in 1883.........
To successfully solve the Tower of Hanoi puzzle and emerge victorious, one must follow a specific strategy of moving the disks from one peg to another while adhering to the rules of the game. The key is to always move the smallest disk first and to plan ahead to minimize the number of moves required. By carefully strategizing and being patient, one can solve the puzzle and achieve victory.
