""" A programming puzzle from Einav in Google CP Solver. From 'A programming puzzle from Einav' http://gcanyon.wordpress.com/2009/10/28/a-programming-puzzle-from-einav/ ''' My friend Einav gave me this programming puzzle to work on. Given this array of positive and negative numbers: 33 30 -10 -6 18 7 -11 -23 6 ... -25 4 16 30 33 -23 -4 4 -23 You can flip the sign of entire rows and columns, as many of them as you like. The goal is to make all the rows and columns sum to positive numbers (or zero), and then to find the solution (there are more than one) that has the smallest overall sum. So for example, for this array: 33 30 -10 -16 19 9 -17 -12 -14 You could flip the sign for the bottom row to get this array: 33 30 -10 -16 19 9 17 12 14 Now all the rows and columns have positive sums, and the overall total is 108. But you could instead flip the second and third columns, and the second row, to get this array: 33 -30 10 16 19 9 -17 12 14 All the rows and columns still total positive, and the overall sum is just 66. So this solution is better (I don't know if it's the best) A pure brute force solution would have to try over 30 billion solutions. I wrote code to solve this in J. I'll post that separately. ''' Compare with the following models: * MiniZinc http://www.hakank.org/minizinc/einav_puzzle.mzn * SICStus: http://hakank.org/sicstus/einav_puzzle.pl Note: This is a Larent Perrons's variant of einav_puzzle.py. He removed some of the decision variables and made it more efficient. Thanks!
