Wow! This problem is kind of tricky. If you're ready to put your thinking cap on, brace yourself and good luck! Otherwise, you can postpone it for now and return any time later
Let's play a game. Here is a field with numbers:
104005236
The field can be modified according to the following rules:
- you can rotate the rows to the left or right by one element. For example, like this:
147258369⟶347158269
147258369⟶157268349
- you can rotate the columns up or down as well. For example, like this:
147258369⟶147825369
147258369⟶147258693
Your task is to specify in what minimum number of the above operations it is possible to bring the field to the form of an upper triangular matrix.
