    Can U help w/ logics question?
    I read a few posts on this forum and it seems this group is good at this sort of thing... here is my question:

    Logistics Q w/ variables; how do I assign a group of 6 ppl into differing (and rotating) groups of 2 per day?


    We have a mom's co-op where we have 6 moms that will rotate in pairs to teach our collective group of toddlers on each week's session (one day a week for ~4 months). I'm trying to find a pattern to use for assigning the schedule so that we have as many different combos of the 2 moms as possible (not always mom A + mom B etc.) AND allow for each mom to be OFF the ~same number of days before her day to teach again. I've been going around with this for hours!!! Seems there should be a formula or pattern I could follow???
    Ex: moms are: A,B,C,D,E,F. Week 1: A+B, Week 2: C+D, Week 3: E+F, Week4: _?_ , etc. Does anyone know a way to make this work systematically? TIA!!!!

      1 A B
      2 C D
      3 E F
      4 A C
      5 B E
      6 D F
      7 A E
      8 B C
      9 D E
      10 A F
      11 B D
      12 C E
      13 B F
      14 A D
      15 C F

      These are all combinations, with minimum and maximum breaks of 1 and 3 weeks, respectively.

        Thank you!!! ... a little co-op of mom's in Austin Texas appreciates your help!!! BTW, is there an easy way to 'pattern' this? ... if our group becomes 8 instead of 6 lets say- a way I could duplicate your work? Or did you plug them in 'manually' using min/max breaks? Thanks again!!!
