You wrote this

'
1.  Count the number of cores that are possible on the map
2.  If the count is non-zero:
   2a.  Find the next possible core in on the map (if none left exit
loop)
   2b.  Send the map, minus the core planets we found, recursively
back into the function
   2c.  Loop back to 1
3.  If count is zero:
   3a.  Compare the depth of the recursion to the best found so far
(the depth is the number of cores found)
   3b.  If greater, mark this configuration as the best found so far.
