'''Railway circuit'''
 
Given n sections of curve tracks, each one being an arc of 30° of radius R, the goal is to build and count all possible different railway circuits.
 
'''Constraints''' :
 
-* n = 12 + k*4 (k = 0, 1 , ...)
-* The circuit must be a closed, connected graph, and the last arc must joint the first one.
-* Duplicates, either by symmetry, translation, reflexion or rotation must be eliminated.
-* PathPaths may overlap or cross each other.
-* All tracks must be used.

'''Task :'''
 
Write a function which counts and displays all possible circuits Cn for n = 12, 16 , 20. Extra credit for n = 24, 28, ... 48 (no display, only counts). A circuit Cn will be displayed as a list, or sequence of n Right=1/Left=-1 turns.
Example :
 
C12 = (1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1) or C12 = (-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1)
'''Straight tracks (extra-extra credit)'''
Extra :
 
Suppose we have m = k*2 sections of straight tracks, each of length L. Such a circuit is denoted Cn,m . A circuit is a sequence of +1,-1, or 0 = straight move. Count the number of circuits Cn,m with n same as above and m = 2 to 8 .
