// A slightly more difficult (but only slightly) pair of questions is:
// which is/are the smoothest Soduko [sic] number(s) and which is/are the least
// smooth? Choose any justifiable measure of smoothness you wish and, of
// course, justify your choice.
//
// Note that this requires the 2006-12-29 release of Frink which has the
// permute method.
