c – 解决洪水般的难题的最小点击次数

当玩家点击颜色α的网格的任何单元格时,网格的顶部左上角的单元格β,接收颜色α,但不仅如此：所有这些通过连接到源的单元格仅使用颜色α或β的路径也接收颜色α.

单元格之间的连接应仅在水平和垂直方向上考虑以形成路径.例如,当玩家点击左侧图中突出显示的单元格时,网格会接收图形向右的着色.游戏的目标是使网格单色.

输入说明

The first line of the input consists of 2 integers N and M (1 ≤ N ≤ 4,1 ≤ M ≤ 5),which represent respectively the number of lines and the number of columns of the grid. The N lines following describe the initial configuration of the grid,representing each colour by an integer between 0 and 9. The input does not consist of any other line.

输出说明

Print a line containing a single integer that represents the minimum number of clicks that the player must do in order to make the grid monochromatic.

我试图找到一个解决方案与回溯(由于时间限制8秒和小尺寸的网格).但是超出了时间限制.有些人只是在0秒钟内完成.

还有一些其他算法来解决这个问题？
