Nah Hanoi was easy stuff, first year. Definitely more traumatizing practice problems.

Hanoi […] practice problems.

Like you come to the exam and there's a 64 piece Tower of Hanoi you need to solve manually to pass the exam

Assuming 1 second per swap, a 64 disk tower of hanoi would take 585 billion years to solve - it has 2^64 -1 swaps.
