;; We can attack this similarly to PMCH.
;;
;; Consider the A/U graph, and assume without loss of generality that the number
;; of As is less than or equal to the number of Us.  For each A, we choose
;; a U to pair it with like in PMCM, but this time we don't have enough A's to
;; get the full factorial.  Instead we get U(U-1)(U-2)…(U-(A-1)) which we can
;; just multiply out.
;;
;; … why did I get a dynamic programming achievement on Rosalind for solving
;; this problem?
