#1 Help Me ! » Lunch rotation for 18 people in a group, 6 groups of 3 each month » 2011-01-06 02:30:12

I am in a group of 18 members who would like to start meeting once a month for lunch.

Each month, we want 3 people to meet for lunch, so there would be 6 groups of 3 people meeting each month. 

The goal is to have each member eat with two people they have not met for lunch in previous months until they have eaten lunch with every member of the group at least once before repeating the cycle.  This should take about 9 months to complete a cycle.

If there is a formula to figure this out, that would be great.  If you have a solution, or know of other ways to solve this lunch schedule, please share with me.

Your suggestions are welcome.

Regards,

Doug Allender
