While working on this problem I forgot all the proviso's. The result is still correct. Instead of day number, it should be week number. Which day of the week a game is played is irrelevent to the solution. ----- i.e. assume we have n players, with n even. let w(i,j) be the week that the ith and jth players play. then w(i,j) = (i + j - 1) mod n-1 for i < j < n and w(i,n) = (2i - 1) mod n-1 for i < n Vick Bennison ...decvax!decwrl!rhea!turtle!bennison (603) 881-2156
