Hello Everyone,
I have a problem that I'm hoping someone here can help me solve. It's
plagued me for a while now and, to be honest, I'm not terribly sure
there actually is a workable solution. Here's the deal.
I have a 'secret santa' type application that I designed for a Yahoo
Group my wife owns. The way it works is that people go to the site,
enter their email address and are randomly matched with some other
person. The two filtering criteria for the match are 1) the persons
match can't be taken )as indicated in an 'isTaken' field) and 2) the
persons match can't be themselves.
The systems works very well unless there are an odd number of people on
the list. Then, one person is left out. We've just run into this problem
a few minutes ago. There are 7 people on the list and everyone is owned
by someone else except one person.
Any idea how I can make this workable on an odd numbered list?
Your help is really appreciated.
Thanks,
Anthony Papillion
