Subject: Problem for Surveyselect
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Can SurveySelect solve this problem?
Consider:
n persons, n is even, 8<=m<=24
m = n/2
m courts for games
a game is between two persons
a round is m games being played simultaneously on the m courts
a person plays only once in a round
m rounds are to be played
such that:
- each person plays on each court
- each person plays someone different
If not SurveySelect, is there another Proc or some algorithm I should
know ?
Is it solvable for some n, but not others ?
