hintForfunction
A piece to turn, for a player who asks for help: the first piece that does
not face as answer says, nearest the pump first (the water's own order), or
null when every piece does. In a drains board a spare piece is never one. In a
block it is the block's anchor, the top left cell, whichever piece is out of place.
