with up to 30 random moves, the growth rate of the search tree was O(n1.5147);
although not linear, this size is significantly smaller than for the blind searches.
The actual exponent in each of these growth rate functions is dependent upon the
branching factor for the problem being solved. The results of Table 7-4 are shown
graphically in Figure 7-14.
