Burst Balloons
Burst all balloons to get maximum coins Bursting balloon i gives nums[i-1] * nums[i] * nums[i+1] coins Out of bounds treated as 1 Example: [3,1,5,8] => 167 [3,1,5,8] -> [3,5,8] -> [3,8] -> [8] -> [] coins: 3*1*5 + 3*5*8 + 1*3*8 + 1*8*1 = 167
I stopped asking which balloon pops first. Ask which one pops last in each interval, and the subproblems stop overlapping.
