The Leibniz formula expresses det(A)=σSnsgn(σ)i=1nai,σ(i)\det(A) = \sum_{\sigma \in S_n} \text{sgn}(\sigma) \prod_{i=1}^{n} a_{i,\sigma(i)} as a sum over all permutations. For a 3×33 \times 3 matrix where exactly two non-zero entries appear in each row, how many permutation terms in the Leibniz expansion are guaranteed to be non-zero?
