As a note, I believe this problem is np hard in the general sense, so I don’t think trying all the combinations by brute force would normally scale very well. I’m not sure when it breaks down though.
This is a bit trickier than I originally thought. The problem is “weakly” np hard. See en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_NP-co... for more details.
