Golf for 12 2012-04-18
From Brent:
I have a golf group that is set up as follows: 12 players, broken into 2 teams of 6. I am looking for a formula to have one player from team A play against one player for team B each round, not repeat the match, and ride with as little duplication as possible. I know that it is not statistically possible with these numbers and will have at least one round that has duplication.

Twelve golfers 2009-06-26
From Fred:
Hello- There are twelve golfers in 3 foursomes for three days. Is there a combination of four man foursomes that allow for no duplicates? In other words, is there a formula to insure the greatest amount of variety in the foursomes. Looking at it math like you have 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 grouped into four numbers each for three days. So if your have the first day 1,2,3,4 in one group, 5,6,7,8 in the second and 9,10,11,12 in the third what can you do for the next two days to have the fewest duplicates or have the greatest variety in the foursomes? Thanks

0123456789 2009-03-25
From Dr.:
Many years ago I discovered that there are 33 numbers which, when multiplied by 0123456789, simply rearrange the digits. Surprisingly (to me at least) is the fact that the digits of all of those 33 numbers add up to one of the 6 "cardinal" numbers 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 8. For example 6 + 2 = 8 and 62 X 0123456789 = 7654320918 etc.
Another interesting (to me) fact is that only the cardinal numbers 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 8 rearrange the digits in the number 9876543210.
My question is: "Is this known to anyone but me and the people I have told?"

Golfing with 8 or 12 2006-02-13
From Carolyn:
I have a couple of questions that my dad asked me and I do not think it can be done in the manner he wants it to come out to.

He is going on a golf trip in June. There are going to be either 8 or 12 players playing 4 rounds of golf.

The questions that he says will not work and I do not know how to figure it out either is

4 Rounds of golf is for sure. 18 hole Rounds each

4 Players to a group

Either 8 or 12 players can every player play with every player in a group at least once during those 4 rounds.

If this can be done can you give me the combinations for both 8 and 12 , so I can help out my dad. Along with how you you figure this out.
