Body: <p>I came across this problem, and am not sure where to start. What model would work best for this problem and why?</p>
  <p>Imagine the digits in the test set of the MNIST dataset (<a href="http://yann.lecun.com/exdb/mnist/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://yann.lecun.com/exdb/mnist/</a>) got cut in half vertically and shuffled around. Implement a way to restore the original test set from the two halves, whilst maximizing the overall matching accuracy.</p>

Comments.Text: So far i have found nothing. I tried to implement resnet38 to classify each of the halves as a number, but then im not sure how to attach two 1's or two 2's.
  Also resent38 gives bad predictions
