Thanks for the sample code; I'll stew over it for a while to make sure I understand it. Sorry, I didn't do a very good job of explaining the problem I'm trying to solve. Here's a quick picture that might help: https://docs.google.com/drawings/pub?id=1gmjjjo6YIiBGCvm87BEgvsqONZpavmBeV0TtpDDDI8A&w=904&h=496 The blue arcs on top represent the start/end times from the task facts. Tasks 1 and 2 must be completed between times 0 and 10, and task 3 must be completed between times 0 and 11. Since task 1 only takes 5 units of time to complete, though, you have some space: you can complete it from 0-5 or 1-6 or 2-7 or 3-8 or 4-9 or 5-10. But, you can't start task 1 before time 0 and you can't finish it after time 10 (and it must take 5 minutes to complete). That's what the facts denote. The start/end times in the output represent the times that the task is actually being performed. The red section represents the current output. Person A is assigned all three tasks, and person B is assigned none. The problem is that the three tasks are completed from 0-5, 0-9, and 0-3. This means that person A is doing all three tasks simultaneously (during times 0-3), which isn't allowed. During times 4-5, he's still doing tasks 1 and 2, which is also not allowed. Instead, the green section is what I'm hoping to get. Each task falls within the range given by the blue arcs on top and neither person has to do more than one task at a time. I'm not sure this helps explain the problem any more than before. Again, this certainly isn't an important problem for me to solve, so I'd hate to waste too much of your time on it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
