Phoe Wa Lone has an empty cylindrical box and his goal is to sort the balls so that balls of the same colour are grouped together in each box. In a move, Phoe Wa Lone can do one of the following:[*]Select a box containing exactly two balls and reverse the order of the top and the bottom balls. [*]Take a ball
