Default Re: Seating Arrangement Problem

It's not possible .

This is a simple pigeonhole principle argument . If player 1 has 2 and 8 beside him , then there are at most 5 players to choose from to be on his right or left and 7 sng tournaments which is impossible . In fact , this is not possible for 4 sng tournaments either since 5/2 = 2.5 and 2.5+1 < 4
