You're absolutely right, compadre. Redundancies are not good. I haven't the time to do a systematic count, but based on Chelsea's comments about Loci and anti-cyclones, I bet this is the conceptual road to the solution. Maybe CCW? There are finite variations of how you can count, where you start, and where you arrive... finite and easy for us to go through all of them so we can, with confidence, discount this particular approach. I'm not satisfied with how good a job I've done so far... Maybe a a validation occurs only when n<26?

Cheers,
