Table of n, a(n) for n=1..12.

Example

Let "r" denote rotation and "x" an exchange.
For n = 5, the shortest sequence reversing "ABCDE" has length A048200(5) = 10, the only sequence doing so is "xrrxrrxrxr", so a(5) = 1.
For n = 6, we have A048200(6) = 15, but there are 2 solutions of this length "xrxrrxrxrrxrrrx" and "rxrrxrxrrxrxrrx", so a(6) = 2.
