Ok hi all, my first question! I would like to organize a party where everyone meets everyone, the table is organized like this:
ABCD J E IHGF
So A can only meet B and J, and B can only meet A and C and so on. So I suppose it could be seen as a lot of groups of 3s + 1 or 2. (abc) (def) (ghi)+J , but there is also the groups (bcd) (efg) (hij)+a
How should I move them around?
I will not know exact numbers before they arrive! Any help much appreciated.
Seems a bit like this question but a bigger table! How to rotate n individuals at a dinner party so that every guest meets every other guests and How to derive a general formula for this problem? (pairs of people seated around a table)
