Re: Bin packing problem variation repost (see[834245])

For some reason the partitioning example from the first chapter of Higher Order Perl (section 1.8.2, p35 in the PDF version) comes to mind.

The cake is a lie.

It not clear to me how to extend the partitioning (2 equal) solution to handle 31 partitions? The 3 partition problem is already much harder than the 2 partition. I suspect that extending that to 31 partitions would be impractical.	[reply]

Oop, you're quite right. I'd remembered it was about splitting lists of items but wasn't thinking that it's only into two groupings. Never mind. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie.	[reply]
