					# ------------------------------------------------
# ANTI-ASSIGNMENT PROBLEM:
# Assign people to groups
# so that groups are as heterogeneous as possible
# ------------------------------------------------
# Version 2: Minimize "sum of deviations"
# ------------------------------------------------

# To make this problem harder,
# decrease sample and/or increase numberGrps.
