Consider the string of length $ 6$ composed of three characters $ a$, $ b$, $ c$. For each string, if two $ a$s are next to each other, or two $ b$s are next to each other, then replace $ aa$ by $ b$, and replace $ bb$ by $ a$. Also, if $ a$ and $ b$ are next to each other, or two $ c$s are next to each other, remove all two of them (i.e. delete $ ab$, $ ba$, $ cc$). Determine the number of strings that can be reduced to $ c$, the string of length 1, by the reducing processes mentioned above.
