Hi there!

A Derangement is a completely disorded permutation:

{2 3 4 1},  {4 3 1 2} , etc see
http://theory.cs.uvic.ca/inf/perm/Derangements.html

My question is: What is minimun number of swaps to change a derangement
to be sorted?  My guess about an algorithm is just sort in sequencial
order:

4 3 1 2 - sort 1
1 3 4 2 - sort 2
1 2 4 3 - sort 3
1 2 3 4 = 3 swaps

but I can prove it, someone have ideas?
