    We can use Frame-Steward algorithm. It's mentioned in the Wikipedia article on the tower of Hanoi. A more detailed analysis is available here.

    It's also possible to "guess" the structure of the answer by writing a recursive solution and staring at its output for small values of n. However, I think that it's pretty hard to prove it without any prior knowledge on this topic (and I wouldn't say that this algorithm is well-known), so this type of problems seems quite strange to me (you have to resort to either guessing the answer during the contest or not solving the problem altogether).
