 * Now move them one at a time along the line from circle to circle
 * until the word $\text {FLANDERS}$ can be correctly read round the rim of the wheel as at present,
 * only that the $\text F$ is in the upper circle now occupied by the $\text N$.


 * Of course two counters cannot be in a circle at the same time.
 * Find the fewest possible moves.
