This paper shows how that technique can be used in practice by applying it to a network expansion problem. The existence of the parameter-less genetic algorithm stresses the fact that some problems need more processing power than others. Such observation leads to the development of a problem difficulty measure which is also introduced in this paper. The measure can be useful for comparing the difficulty of real-world problems.
