%C A075273 In Blet with 2n coins, we start with 2n coins alternating heads and tails, (HT)^n, in a circle. A move in Blet is either of transitions HTH -> THT or THT -> HTH. This sequence counts the number of arrangements of coins that can be reached by applying these transitions an arbitrary number of times. - _Sean A. Irvine_, Feb 14 2025
