Is reading out a binary tree from smallest to biggest in anyway related to TSP, i have slight memory of doing a algoritmic solution for TSP when i tried to factor RSA primeproducts, unfortunatly it is all gone from my mind. Could you please make a short layman approach for how TSP and sorting is related to factorization it may come back to my memory. I lack the key so to speech to the problem.
