Farmer John wants to take a picture of his entire herd of N (1 <=
N <= 100,000,000) cows conveniently numbered 1..N so he can show off
to his friends.
On picture day, the cows run to form a single line in some arbitrary
order with position i containing cow c_i (1 <= c_i <= N). Farmer
John has his own ideas about how the cows should line up.
FJ thinks cow i may stand only to the left of cow i+1 (for all i,
1 <= i <= N-1) and that cow N may only stand to the left of Cow 1.
Of course, no cow will stand to the left of the first (leftmost)
cow in the line.
The cows are hungry for the promised post-photo dinner, so Farmer
John wants to take the picture as quickly as possible. Cows are not
great at following directions, so he will only choose a pair of
adjacent cows and have them switch places once per minute. How
quickly is Farmer John able to get them into some acceptable order?
Consider a set of 5 cows whose initial lineup looks like this:
Left Right
3 5 4 2 1
3 4 5 2 1
3 4 5 1 2
