Real life maths homework problem - 21/08/2017 10:31
Maths isn't my strong point. I could probably work this out with enough time to think about it, but I know there are folk clever enough on here to sort this out in their head in under a minute.
My 6-a-side football team has 8 regular players. Normally, at least one guy has something better to do so we have 1 substitute. Subs are roll-on/roll-off whenever you like and with 1 sub it's easy to work out fair timings so that everyone gets an equal amount of game time.
However, tonight everyone is available so we have 2 subs.
The goalie doesn't get subbed so I have 7 outfield players who all need equal game time. Only 5 can be on the pitch at the same time.
The game is 36 minutes long (2 halves of 18).
How can I arrange the substitutions so that its equal?
