# Superpermutation minimisation

```ruby
for len in (1..8) {
    var (pre="", post="")
    @^len -> permutations {|*p|
        var t = p.join
        post.append!(t) if !post.contains(t)
        pre.prepend!(t) if !pre.contains(t)
    }
    printf("%2d: %8d %8d\n", len, pre.len, post.len)
}
```

#### Output:

```
 1:        1        1
 2:        4        4
 3:       12       15
 4:       48       64
 5:      240      325
 6:     1440     1956
