Start with a list of positive integers, (e.g. [7, 5, 3]) and your goal is to make the same list, in reverse ([3, 5, 7]).
Operations:
1) Split an integer into two smaller integers. (e.g. [7, 5, 3] → [6, 1, 5, 3])
2) Combine (add) two integers into a larger one. (e.g. reverse the last e.g.)
Restrictions:
1) You can never make an integer greater than the largest integer in the original list.
2) You can never make a move that results in the same integer appearing in the list more than once.
