in the generic case i think the theoretical boundary should be something
like:

sum(i=1...n)(i) == (n+1) * n / 2

n=1 limit=1
n=2 limit=3
n=3 limit=6
n=4 limit=10

this is quite close to what you have measured for n=1,2,3, and i think
it's becoming exponentially harder to trigger the worst-case with higher
N, so the measured results will likely be lower than that.
