Binary, Hanoi and Sierpinski - Part 1 of 2

The video explores solving the Towers of Hanoi puzzle using binary counting, highlighting the rhythm and self-similarity of binary numbers. It explains the recursive perspective and efficiency of this method, drawing parallels between binary counting and the puzzle's solution. The video also hints at a connection to Sierpinski's triangle, to be explored in a follow-up video.
