Tower of Hanoi

I have been doing this puzzle fore a couple of hours now and have found some methods that can really help complete the puzzle in the minimum amount of moves. This only works with 3 pegs. I will be building a 4 peg setup over the weekend and i will see how that works. We will say the amount of disks you have is and the size of your pile is Here are some methods;

if = 2x-1 then start at the far right peg

if = 2x then start at the middle peg

if = 2x-1 then start on the peg you want to move the pile to

if = 2x then start away from the peg you want to move the pile to
