in thread Permutation of groups

Specifically for a given partitioning ever person must belong to exactly one team.

Teams do not have to be of the same size. 

eg For three people:
1.    A   B  C
2.    AB  C
3.    A   BC
4.    AC  B
5.    ABC

    tomazos,
    Assuming it does the right thing, you are going to want to use the integer partitioning code blokhead refers to above and the binary counting I explained. You will not have a contigous range of team reference numbers but they will be guaranteed to be unique and will never be higher than 2 ** $num_of_people.

    If I find the time tonight or tomorrow, I will code this for you. If you end up coding it on your own, please post so others can benefit and I won't bother.

    Cheers - L~R
