__DATA__
Distribution: Limbic~Region
a: 1 @ $2.00
1 @ $3.00
1 @ $9.00
bucket avg: $4.67, deviation: $-1.333
b: 1 @ $1.00
1 @ $10.00
1 @ $11.00
bucket avg: $7.33, deviation: $1.333
c: 1 @ $5.00
1 @ $6.00
1 @ $7.00
bucket avg: $6.00, deviation: $0.000
d: 1 @ $4.00
1 @ $8.00
bucket avg: $6.00, deviation: $0.000
It is easy to show that this is not the best result. Consider a perfect distribution:
- 1, 11, 6
- 2, 10, 3, 9
- 7, 5
- 8, 4

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
