Check Lab Bench Capacity Before Posting Six Groups

A laboratory has six benches with four usable seats each, and the teacher wants to catch capacity problems before moving students.

Try This Example

Opens a demo with sample data in a new tab. Your saved lists, settings and history stay in your regular workspace.

Set up the input

Run the example

Number benches 1 through 6. Set Number of groups to 6 and choose Make groups. Match each group number to a bench and compare its member count with that bench’s usable places.

Example output

Illustrative result. A new draw can produce a different selection or order.

GroupAssigned entries
1 (4)24, 12, 1, 13
2 (4)22, 10, 3, 15
3 (4)20, 8, 5, 17
4 (4)18, 6, 7, 19
5 (4)16, 4, 9, 21
6 (4)14, 2, 11, 23

Check the result

Each group has four people and each of the 24 entries appears once. If one bench loses a place, the room has only 23 places. Rerunning the same grouping cannot solve the capacity shortfall. Group size is balanced. Skills, ages and other characteristics are not used in the assignment.
