Please add more than one test case. Otherwise, the problem can be obviated by simply hard-coding solutions. You mention that with some data sets there could be more than one solution. Well, please put in the time and effort to develop a suitable test suite with such test cases included. Three or four test cases should be a minimum.

John D'Errico on 2 Oct 2016

A good problem, but it desperately needs more test cases. Sadly, intlinprog is not an acceptable solution method.

Alfonso Nieto-Castanon on 20 Oct 2016

This is a nice problem, I encourage you to extend it with additional test cases. Also it is unclear what format you would expect the output to be when there are multiple solutions: multiple outputs? a cell array?

Out of curiosity, why was this solution marked as "potential spam"? (I hope that someone'll take a look and see that it's nothing of that sort!)

Dyuman Joshi on 22 Oct 2022

The solution has been marked as not-spam now.
But we do not know what exactly is the reason it was marked as such (I do not know the specifics of the spam filter or its algorithm), my best guess is probably the use of nouns (it is weird, I know).

with given test cases it is too tempting to cheat

It doesn't generate correct results but passed test suites. Why?

Very similar to what I was trying to do, but in about a third of the size...
