I've been stuck with this problem for a couple of days. I came up with a strange 3-dimensional dp and the constraints actually allowed it, so I coded it and ran into wrong answers (nothing new)

Now I'm noticing that if the given inputs are all their maximum (250), it will be equivalent to a 250 * 250 board and the answer is 250! which cannot be stored. But the problem statement doesn't mention any guarantee, nor does it say that I should return the answer modulo 1e9 + 7 or something like that.

I'm getting wrong answer on test 15 (it could be a problem with my solution as well) but just asking, what's up with this?

You are right that the answer could be very large, but it seems testcases do not go there.

I got AC using a regular python code 270938473.

It's a nice DP problem.
