Atelier Tours de HanoïAI-assisted content

For the Journée des lycéennes organized on October 15th at the École nationale des ponts et chaussées by my colleague Gabriel Stoltz, I prepared with the help of an AI agent a 30-minute session on the Tower of Hanoi for high-school students. Starting from the classic three-peg puzzle, the session introduces recursive reasoning and a proof by induction, and ends with the Frame–Stewart strategy for four pegs and the still-open question of optimality for five pegs or more.

• Play the Tower of Hanoi — an interactive game with three, four or five pegs (available in French and English).
