Actually one of my most favorite memories because the simplicity of the solution using recursion blew my little mind. It was like discovering a magic spell.

I remember learning recursion twice: once for Fibonacci and once for Hanoi. It did take a while to click but it unlocked recursion schemes and dynamic programming.
