yeah, complexity is important, but moreso than "runtime" for these kinds of questions
my initial response wasn't great because that totally could've been just a time complexity estimation, but i read it as runtime

pretty sure they had to do some kind of branch-and-bound algorithm, though i can't say which one specifically because i don't have a copy of the assignment
