A sample run.
 
After dealing the cards the state of the piles is:
Red : 11 cards -> [B, R, R, R, B, B, R, R, B, R, B]
Black : 15 cards -> [R, R, R, R, R, R, B, R, R, B, B, R, B, B, B]
Discard: 26 cards -> [R, B, B, B, R, B, R, R, R, B, B, B, B, B, R, B, B, B, R, R, R, R, R, B, B, B]
 
Number of cards are to be swapped: 6
The respective zero-based indices of the cards to be swapped are:
Red : [4, 5, 6, 9, 0, 2]
Black : [1, 4, 10, 7, 3, 0]
 
After swapping cards the state of the red and black piless is:
Red : [R, R, R, R, R, R, B, R, B, R, B]
Black : [R, B, R, B, B, R, B, R, R, B, R, R, B, B, B]
 
The number of red cards in the red pile: 8
The number of black cards in the black pile: 8
So the asssertion is correct.
