COMMENTS

The reason the sequence is palindromic is because playing the game backward is the same as playing it forward, with the notions of "hole" and "peg" interchanged.

FORMULA

Satisfies a(n)=a(31-n) for 0<=n<=31 (sequence is a palindrome).

EXAMPLE

There are four possible first jumps, but they all lead to the same board position (rotationally equivalent), thus a(1)=1.
