You could use two iterators - start by having the first point to the first element in your list, and the second pointing to the second element of your list. Until the list is empty,

1. Insert the first element of the first List to the front of the second (new) list.
2. Set the first iterator equal to the second iterator
3. Increment the second iterator
4. Repeat
