Yeah, the problem in general is O(n!) no O(n^3) algorithm can compute
the optimal solution for n>3 or so.
I think the goal is to keep the 'normal' case O(n^2) but try and suck
less for the corner cases without degenerating into a full blown O(n!).
So I think we want an amortized O(n^2) with an upper bound well below
O(n!).
