Where do we go from Here?
One possible attack:
Recall: Lund and Reingold found the optimal competitiveness for each 3-point metric space. (Always C e / e - 1.)
Try to find C < 2 such that there is a C-competitive order 2 knowledge state algorithm for every 4-point metric space. Why? Because for an order 2 knowledge state algorithm, every move involves at most 4 points.
Try to fit them together.
