...return result;
            }
            // found the right bound, swap & make progress
            swap(r.front, r.back);
            r...

...return r;
            }
            // found the right bound, swap & make progress
            swap(r.front, r1.back);
            r...

...if(data[j] < data[minI]) {
                minI = j;
            }
        }
        swap(data[i], data[minI]);

And the timings...
