Way too cool. :) Thank you!

Did you use some existing algorithm, or did you come up with this on your own? Kudos either way, but I'm really curious.

There isn't much of an algorithm, really. There are n_a-1 slots into which the B's will go. In the general case, some slots will have floor( n_b / (n_a-1) ) B's and others will have one more. Still, it took me more than an hour from start to finish. Cheers.	[reply]
