Multiplication Puzzle
Time Limit: 1 Second Memory Limit: 32768 KB
The multiplication puzzle is played with a row of cards, each containing a
single positive integer. During the move player takes one card out of the row
and scores the number of points equal to the product of the number on the card
taken and the numbers on the cards on the left and on the right of it. It is
not allowed to take out the first and the last card in the row. After the final
move, only two cards are left in the row.
The goal is to take cards in such order as to minimize the total number of scored
points.
For example, if cards in the row contain numbers 10 1 50 20 5, player might
take a card with 1, then 20 and 50, scoring
10*1*50 + 50*20*5 + 10*50*5 = 500+5000+2500 = 8000
If he would take the cards in the opposite order, i.e. 50, then 20, then 1,
the score would be
1*50*20 + 1*20*5 + 10*1*5 = 1000+100+50 = 1150.
