% Domain   : Puzzles
% Problem  : TopSpin
% Version  : Especial.
%            Theorem formulation : Reverse the first SIZE pieces.
% English  : TopSpin consists of a circular track with 20 pieces numbered
%            1..20 placed in the track, with a turnstile in the track that
%            always holds four consecutive pieces. There are three legal
%            moves in TopSpin: slide all the pieces round the track in
%            either direction, or flip the turnstile. Given any initial
%            board with scrambled pieces on the track, the problem is to
%            find a sequence of moves that unscrambles the pieces.
