problem

For a permutation σ\sigma of 1,2,…,71,2, \ldots, 7, a transposition is a swapping of two elements. Let f(σ)f(\sigma) be the minimum number of transpositions necessary to turn σ\sigma into the permutation 1,2,3,4,5,6,71,2,3,4,5,6,7. Find the sum of f(σ)f(\sigma) over all permutations σ\sigma of 1,2,…,71,2, \ldots, 7.
