Problem Statement
There are red cards and white cards. All of these cards are shuffled and dealt in two randomly to each of the round table players. The game consists of several rounds, each of which players simultaneously hand over cards to each other according to the following rules. If a player holds at least one red card, he passes one red card to the player sitting to his left, otherwise he transfers one white card to the left. The game ends after the round when each player has one red card and one white card. Determine as many rounds as possible.
