Swap the positions of the white and black knights. Each knight moves as in a regular game of chess, and two knights cannot occupy the same square. Unlike chess, you do not have to alternate moves between white and black pieces. You can even move the same piece in consecutive moves.

Starting with any number at all, I can always reduce it to 4 by applying a consistent rule. 4 is the magic number.
Example: 100. 100 is 10, 10 is 3, 3 is 5, 5 is 4, and 4 is the magic number.
Another Example: 52. 52 is 8, 8 is 5, 5 is 4, 4 is the magic number.
Find out what is the rule?
