Feb 23 at 16:36 comment added Greg @mountrix Thanks for clarifying! I suspected as much, but it's always best to make certain.
Feb 23 at 14:53 comment added mountrix @Greg : actually the problem is working with both situations, and even situation (1) including many "left-and-right" swaps...
Feb 22 at 22:34 comment added Greg Could you clarify this detail: "swap the position of two skulls, either left and centre, or right and centre, many times"? For this set S = {lc, rc} of swaps, this can mean either: (1) a sequence (s₁, s₂, ..., sₙ): sᵢ ∈ S of any such swaps; or (2) a dichotomy between the sequence of exclusively the one swap (lc, lc, ..., lc) or the other (rc, rc, ..., rc). Put another way: situation (2) implies the Devil always swaps the same two skulls.

Feb 20 at 23:26 comment added Joshua The devil does not play fair. If you live so long, time will come to an end and the Devil will be thrown into the abyss for the last time and you with him.

Feb 19 at 23:43 comment added Blue Herring I believe there is a card trick that works in a similar way to this. Now if only I could remember how to do it....
