%N Period of the flip-riffle shuffle function on a deck of 2n cards.

%C Duplicate of A055388? [_Michel Marcus_ and _Joerg Arndt_, Jun 24 2013]

%C The flip-riffle shuffle is a riffle shuffle but also turns the deck upside down.

%e The flip-riffle shuffle on 6 cards is [1,2,3,4,5,6] -> [6,3,5,2,4,1]. The period of this function is 4, hence a(3) = 4.

%Y Equals lcm(A002326(n), 2).

%K nonn

%O 1,1
