Re: Math problem
A few people posted while I was editing, so I'll put it back up:
Quote:
Arrangement method:
1) List players
2) Variables
Pp = players per game
Np = Number of players (total)
Gp = Games per player
Tg = Total games
Sk = Skip (counting variable; internal use only)
3) Gp = (Np - 1) / (Pp - 1)
4) Tg = (Np * (Np - 1)) / (Pp * (Pp - 1))
5) Sk = 0
6) Group, skipping Sk
7) Sk = Sk + Pp
8) If Sk < Np, Goto 6

I might have an off by one error in line 7.
