UFLP,UFLP,"Someone at planning has to balance the budget and convenience: decide which neighborhood libraries to open and make sure every regular reader is linked to one of the opened branches. For any setup, the cityβs outlay equals the sum of the opening fees for the selected branches plus the travel cost for each reader to their single assigned branch; the setups with lower combined totals are preferable.

UFLP,UFLP,"At the festival the logistical brief was: decide which kitchens to switch on and which switched-on kitchen will take care of each order.

If you want to hand the plan back to me in a tidy form, a simple JSON sketch like this is perfect β nothing fancy, just the shape I expect:

""solution"": {
""selected"": [<kitchen_to_switch_on>, <kitchen_to_switch_on>, ...],
""assignments"": [<chosen_switched_on_kitchen>, <chosen_switched_on_kitchen>, ...]

Think of ""selected"" as the list of kitchens you flip on (just put their exact IDs in that list), and ""assignments"" as, for each order in the same sequence as the input, which switched-on kitchen will handle it. Super casual: it's just two lists β which kitchens are active, and who serves which order.
This JSON is only a sketch of the expected shape, not the final answer β fill in the real kitchen IDs and assignments when you submit.
Also: all identifiers must be used exactly as they appear in the instance input β no renaming and no new labels.

UFLP,UFLP,"Recently the neighborhood board brought up which community tool sheds to keep maintained and how to assign homes to them. The job is to choose some sheds to pay for and then register each household with a single kept shed β households can only access sheds on that maintained list. To pick the best arrangement, you add the maintenance costs for the kept sheds and the travel cost for each household to reach its assigned shed; the arrangement with the lowest total of those added costs is preferred. No home can be left out or listed twice. The detailed costs and household distances are provided below.
There are 2 candidate sheds, 5 households, and the shed maintenance costs are 2000, 2000.
Shed F1 has maintenance cost 2000.
Shed F2 has maintenance cost 2000.
Household A would incur travel cost 192 to reach shed F1.
Household B would incur travel cost 355 to reach shed F1.
Household C would incur travel cost 448 to reach shed F1.
Household D would incur travel cost 826 to reach shed F1.
Household E would incur travel cost 593 to reach shed F1.
Household A would incur travel cost 476 to reach shed F2.
Household B would incur travel cost 647 to reach shed F2.
Household C would incur travel cost 363 to reach shed F2.
Household D would incur travel cost 979 to reach shed F2.
Household E would incur travel cost 417 to reach shed F2.
Use these entries to pick which sheds to keep and to assign every household so the combined maintenance plus travel cost is minimized.

UFLP,UFLP,"Back when the shop was deciding routes for the month, the owner had to choose which mobile grooming vans to deploy and who would service each client. The constraint was clear: each appointment must be covered by exactly one van that was actually sent out β no appointment left out, no appointment served twice, and no assigning to vans that werenβt deployed. A smarter schedule is simply the cheaper one overall: add together the deployment charges for the vans chosen and the travel costs for every appointment, and keep that combined amount as low as possible. The detailed van information and appointments are shown below.

If you want to tell me which vans you actually sent and who each client got, please use this simple JSON layout so it's easy to read and check:
{
""solution"": {
""selected"": [<van_to_deploy>, <van_to_deploy>, ...],
""assignments"": [<van_assigned_to_customer>, <van_assigned_to_customer>, ...]
}
}
Pretty straightforward: ""selected"" is the list of vans you decide to send out, and ""assignments"" lists, in the same order as the appointments in the instance, which van handles each appointment. Think of it like filling out a form β pick the vans you deploy, then next to each client write the van that will serve them.

UFLP,UFLP,"Our team is sketching out where to place repair kiosks along the loop: there are candidate locations and a list of riders who might stop by. The job is to pick which locations to actually install and then assign every single rider to one of those installed kiosks. A good layout minimizes the overall cost β sum up the installation costs for the kiosks that are built plus the extra miles (or cost) riders take to reach their assigned kiosk, and prefer the plan with the smallest total. Kiosks not built are off-limits, and built kiosks can serve unlimited riders. The detailed instance information is below.

""selected"" is where you list the outlets you decide to open. ""assignments"" is a list, one entry per block, saying which opened outlet that block is attached to. Think of it like filling out a form: the first part names the open outlets, the second part maps every block to one of those outlets.

UFLP,UFLP,"Many people will be at the block party, and the organizers must choose which food truck locations to pay for and tell each attendee area which staffed location to use. Every staffed spot requires a rental fee, and every area adds up walking distance depending on which spot itβs sent to, so the combined totalβstall fees plus total walking distanceβis what the team wants to keep low. Each area needs exactly one assignment; no area can be unassigned or assigned to multiple spots. The specific data for spots, fees, and attendee areas are listed below.
There are 3 candidate food truck spots, 7 attendee areas, and the spot rental fees are 2000, 2000, 2000.
Spot F1 has a rental fee of 2000.
Spot F2 has a rental fee of 2000.
Spot F3 has a rental fee of 2000.
If attendee area A is assigned to spot F1, the walking distance is 415.
If attendee area B is assigned to spot F1, the walking distance is 259.
If attendee area C is assigned to spot F1, the walking distance is 818.
If attendee area D is assigned to spot F1, the walking distance is 61.
If attendee area E is assigned to spot F1, the walking distance is 372.
If attendee area F is assigned to spot F1, the walking distance is 657.
If attendee area G is assigned to spot F1, the walking distance is 875.
If attendee area A is assigned to spot F2, the walking distance is 896.
If attendee area B is assigned to spot F2, the walking distance is 250.
If attendee area C is assigned to spot F2, the walking distance is 867.
If attendee area D is assigned to spot F2, the walking distance is 369.
If attendee area E is assigned to spot F2, the walking distance is 79.
If attendee area F is assigned to spot F2, the walking distance is 549.

If attendee area F is assigned to spot F3, the walking distance is 873.
If attendee area G is assigned to spot F3, the walking distance is 514.
The organizers must use these details to decide which spots to staff and how to assign each area so the sum of rental fees plus walking distances is minimized.
You can just send the final choices in a small JSON snippet like this so it's easy to read and parse. Here's the shape I expect:
{
""solution"": {
""selected"": [<stall_to_rent>, <stall_to_rent>, ...],
""assignments"": [<assigned_spot>, <assigned_spot>, ...]
}
}
""selected"" is the list of staffed spots you decide to pay for (the rental fees). ""assignments"" is, for each attendee area in the same order as the input, which staffed spot that area should use. Super casual: think of ""selected"" as the stalls you're booking, and ""assignments"" as the directions you'd hand out to each group.

Oh, and when you send the decision back, please follow this little JSON layout so it's easy to read and process. For our story it might look like this:
{
""solution"": {
""selected"": [<site_to_open>, <site_to_open>, ...],
""assignments"": [<site_assigned>, <site_assigned>, ...]

""selected"" is where you list the site IDs you'll keep operating (those are the sites we pay the running fee for). ""assignments"" gives, in the same order as the community groups appear in the instance, which open site each group is assigned to. Think of it as a simple form β a list of open sites and then a list that points each group to one of those sites.

""selected"" is where you list which distribution centers you decide to activate. ""assignments"" is a list that, for each shelter in order, names the open center that shelter will use. Think of the JSON as a little form β a sketch of the expected shape, not the actual final choices.
One more thing: use the exact identifiers from the instance input β do not rename them or invent new labels.

UFLP,UFLP,"I work with a city planner who's trying to figure out which public lockers to put around town and which neighborhood of commuters should use each installed locker. The idea is simple: every locker that gets installed costs money, and every commuter who has to detour to reach their assigned locker pays a little extra in time or distance. The planner needs to pick which lockers to install and then give each commuter catchment exactly one of those installed lockers to use β nothing left unassigned, and no catchment sent to more than one locker. In the end, the tally is the sum of the installation fees for the chosen lockers plus all the detour costs for commuters, and the plan that keeps that total as small as possible is the one they want. Concrete details about candidate locations, fees, and detour distances are shown below.
There are 3 candidate locker locations and 7 commuter catchments, with installation fees listed as 1925, 1348, 1194.
Candidate locker F1 would cost 1925 to install.
Candidate locker F2 would cost 1348 to install.
Candidate locker F3 would cost 1194 to install.
If catchment 0 is assigned to locker F1, commuters incur a detour cost of 826.
If catchment 1 is assigned to locker F1, commuters incur a detour cost of 363.
If catchment 2 is assigned to locker F1, commuters incur a detour cost of 974.
If catchment 3 is assigned to locker F1, commuters incur a detour cost of 636.
If catchment 4 is assigned to locker F1, commuters incur a detour cost of 719.
If catchment 5 is assigned to locker F1, commuters incur a detour cost of 499.
If catchment 6 is assigned to locker F1, commuters incur a detour cost of 769.
If catchment 0 is assigned to locker F2, commuters incur a detour cost of 688.
If catchment 1 is assigned to locker F2, commuters incur a detour cost of 697.
If catchment 2 is assigned to locker F2, commuters incur a detour cost of 736.
If catchment 3 is assigned to locker F2, commuters incur a detour cost of 269.
If catchment 4 is assigned to locker F2, commuters incur a detour cost of 113.
If catchment 5 is assigned to locker F2, commuters incur a detour cost of 321.
If catchment 6 is assigned to locker F2, commuters incur a detour cost of 362.
If catchment 0 is assigned to locker F3, commuters incur a detour cost of 196.
If catchment 1 is assigned to locker F3, commuters incur a detour cost of 210.
If catchment 2 is assigned to locker F3, commuters incur a detour cost of 297.
If catchment 3 is assigned to locker F3, commuters incur a detour cost of 922.
If catchment 4 is assigned to locker F3, commuters incur a detour cost of 390.
If catchment 5 is assigned to locker F3, commuters incur a detour cost of 530.
If catchment 6 is assigned to locker F3, commuters incur a detour cost of 462.
The planner will choose which lockers to install and assign each catchment to exactly one chosen locker so the total of installation fees and detour costs is minimized.
Oh, and to make it easy for me to read your plan, please send the final pick and the commuter assignments in this little JSON shape β nothing fancy, just a consistent form I can parse.
{
""solution"": {
""selected"": [<site_to_open>, <site_to_open>, ...],
""assignments"": [<chosen_site>, <chosen_site>, ...]
}
}
Pretty simple: ""selected"" is the list of locker sites you want installed, and ""assignments"" lists, in the same order as the commuter catchments are given in the instance, which installed site each catchment should use. Think of it like a short form β not the real answer, just the shape I expect.
Please make sure to use the exact identifiers from the instance input β don't rename them or invent new labels.
