Holiday for 7 golfers 2010-01-05
From Andy:
I am having difficulty scheduling pairings for a forthcoming Golf holiday. There are 7 players and we will be playing 7 rounds - each round will be a 3 ball and a 4 ball. I am trying to work out a schedule that means everyone plays with each other roughly the same number of times (with a minimum of, say, 3 times if possible). Also, we are looking to ensure everyone plays in roughly the same number of 3 and 4 balls. Any suggestions would be much appreciated (we leave in 10 days time). Thank you.

Four fours 2007-08-23
From Belinda:
My son came home with a math question that I can figure out. He needs to use only the number 4 and only four 4's, no less no more. The problems need the answers 11,13,14,and 18. He can use any mathematical sign except square root. He's been able to get all but these so far and I've worked them, but can't come up with the problems. Can anyone help?
