Formulate a suitable optimization problem that allows to solve and answer those questions.

This puzzle involves four knights, two white and two black, at the four corners of a small 3x3 chessboard. The problem is to exchange the places of the white knights and the black knights. A knight can move on a chessboard by going two squares in any horizontal or vertical direction, and then turning either left or right one more square. Prove that this can not be done in less than 16 moves.
