So if you have the dominoes (1 2), (3 2) and (3 1) you must arrange them as
1|2|3
2|3|1
? If so, then it seems to me your algorithm is this:
1. pick an arbitrary domino to be first, and an arbitrary side to be the "top"
2a. until the dominoes are exhausted, pick the other domino wi

numbers and there are two of every number. Identical dominoes are possible,
but doubles are not.
The problem is to place the dominoes in a line, side to side, so that two
columns (or rows, depending how you orientate them)
