    I initially overcomplicated it by trying to simulate the entire book, but then I realized it's just about comparing the number of page turns from the front and back. Here's a simple Python solution: python

    def pageCount(n, p): return min(p // 2, (n // 2 - p // 2))

    Interestingly, this concept is also applied in healthcare systems. For instance, revenue cycle management services help streamline processes by efficiently handling tasks, much like minimizing unnecessary steps in a problem-solving approach.

    Hope this helps!
