My name is stadzy i am a university student doing my first year in computer science and i entered a programming competition of which i lost....well it was well out of my scope i managed to get half but the third years got away with it...i have been told....
My problem is i want to know if there is anybody out there who think they can break this....

incase u all think i am trying to cheat by writting your codes you can just check
this link below it shows the competition ended on friday night and i was in team
called TEAM GATES.....here is the link www.2cana.co.za/competition

to samarize the question it goes like this....

well here goes;

suppose there are 16 participants, and all from different countries.
suppose A is from USA and has met B from Japan
Suppose C is from USa and has met D from Kenya but has not met A
suppose E is from england and has met F from south africa ..etc

i need to write a program that will output a series of how the athletes should meet in order to know n meet everyone. since a knows b they do not have to meet again. there are only 2 meetings for each athlete per day so the max people u can meet on daily basis is 2.

please help

i just wanna know how it could be done not the whole code...

if i am not clear enough please check the link

www.2cana.co.za/competition/question.jsp
