KMST,KMST,"There’s a planning task where a team must select a predetermined number of city blocks and connect them with newly built streets so those blocks become one connected cluster, with no closed loops of road and no duplicate segments. What separates a good plan from a bad one is how cheap the whole construction comes out: just add up the price of each new street and the smaller that total, the better the plan. The exact blocks, candidate streets, and their costs are shown below.

If you want, send back the picked street segments in a tiny JSON snippet like this so it's easy to read and process:
{
""solution"": [[u1, v1], [u2, v2], ...]
}
That ""solution"" list is just a set of street segments: each pair like [u1, v1] means ""connect block u1 to block v1"" with a new road. Think of it like filling out a short form β€” the JSON shows the shape I expect, not the actual answer.
Please use the exact identifiers from the instance input when you fill this in β€” don't rename them or invent new labels.

KMST,KMST,"We had to lay out a small cluster: choose a set number of racks and wire them together with straight links so every machine in that set can reach every other, without creating redundant loops that would waste cable. Decisions are judged by total cable used β€” sum the lengths of the chosen links, and the setup with the lowest sum is best. The rule is to include exactly the required number of servers, make sure they’re all connected, and avoid any extra circular wiring. The concrete details are shown below.
We have 25 total servers, 31 potential links, and must pick exactly 12 servers to connect without cycles.
We can connect server 1 to server 2 with cable length 1914.0.
We can connect server 1 to server 3 with cable length 734.0.
We can connect server 1 to server 4 with cable length 2039.0.

We can connect server 10 to server 20 with cable length 681.0.
We can connect server 11 to server 6 with cable length 1286.0.
We can connect server 11 to server 16 with cable length 4717.0.
We can connect server 11 to server 19 with cable length 1791.0.

We'll minimize total cable and ensure the chosen 12 servers form a connected, loop-free cluster.
When you send back the wiring plan, just paste the chosen links in this simple JSON shape so it's easy to parse and check:
{
""solution"": [[u1, v1], [u2, v2], ...]
}
Here ""solution"" is a list of the links you picked; each inner pair like [u1, v1] is one straight connection between two racks (order doesn't matter β€” it's just the two endpoints). Think of it as a little checklist of which cables to lay between which racks.
This JSON is just a sketch of the shape I expect, not the actual answer β€” fill in the exact pair list for your instance. Also be sure to use the identifiers exactly as they appear in the instance input β€” do not rename them or invent new labels.

KMST,KMST,"We had a one-line brief from the museum director: pick a set number of exhibits and connect them with walkways so visitors can move between any two chosen exhibits, but don’t let the walkways form loops where people might walk in circles. Better layouts were simply those where the sum of the lengths of all built paths was as small as it could be β€” you literally add up the lengths of the chosen paths and prefer the smallest total. The selection must include exactly the pre-determined number of displays (no leaving some out or doubling up) and each chosen display must be linked so the whole group is connected without circular routes.

{
""solution"": [[""ex1"", ""ex2""], [""ex3"", ""ex4""], ...]
}
Here ""solution"" is a list of the paths you'll build; each inner pair is a walkway connecting the two exhibit IDs (so [""ex1"",""ex2""] means there's a path between exhibit ex1 and exhibit ex2). It's just a template showing the shape I expect β€” not the actual layout you should submit.
Please make sure to use the exact exhibit IDs from the instance input β€” do not rename them or invent new labels.

KMST,KMST,"Many planners run into the same puzzle: select a predetermined count of towers and set up point-to-point connections so the selected towers are all connected, but there are no circular routes among the links. The decision is about picking which towers and which connections; to compare options, add up the price of every link in a plan and favor the plan with the smallest total. The number of towers is fixed, each chosen once, and they must form one continuous, loop-free network. The concrete instance and numbers follow below.

KMST,KMST,"Many coastal planners face the same choice: pick exactly a set number of docks and connect them with direct ferry legs so all picked docks are connected together, but never in a loop. The straightforward score for any plan is just the sum of the lengths of its legs β€” lower is better β€” and the chosen plan must include exactly that many docks, keep each dock unique in the plan, and avoid closed circuits. The precise figures and map are given below.
There are 29 docks, 36 possible direct routes, and the plan must select exactly 9 docks.

If you want the answer output in a machine-friendly way, just stick to this little JSON shape:
{
""solution"": [[u1, v1], [u2, v2], ...]
}
Here ""solution"" is a list of radio links to include in the final web. Each pair like [u1, v1] is one connection between two sensors (the order inside the pair doesn't matter β€” it's just the two endpoints). Think of it as a simple form: a list of links that together make the connected, loop-free network of exactly the chosen sensors.
This JSON is only a sketch of the shape I need β€” not the real answer. When you fill it in, use the exact sensor identifiers from the instance input, with no renaming and no extra labels.

KMST,KMST,"On a quiet afternoon the village engineer drew up plans to connect a fixed number of wells so they all sit on one continuous supply line without any loops or repeated routes. Different connection schemes are compared by simply summing the lengths of the pipes they’d need β€” the scheme with the smallest sum is the cheapest and therefore best. It’s non-negotiable that exactly that many wells are included, that each is connected, and that piping never forms a circular path. The actual map, distances, and how many wells to connect are given below.
Below are 27 wells and 33 candidate pipe segments; the engineer must select connections that include exactly 11 wells in one connected, acyclic supply line.

}
""solution"" should be a list of pipe links; each pair [u1, v1] means there's a single pipe between the two wells whose identifiers are u1 and v1.

If you want to tell me which links you'd pick, just drop them in a tiny JSON snippet like this and I’ll know how to read it:
{
""solution"": [[u1, v1], [u2, v2], ...]
}
Here ""solution"" is just a list of the chosen cable runs, and each pair like [u1, v1] is one link between two sites (use the site identifiers from the instance). Think of it as a simple form: a list of edges that together make the connected, loop-free layout.
This JSON is only a sketch of the expected shape β€” not the final plan itself.
Please make sure every identifier in your submission matches exactly what appears in the instance input β€” don’t rename or invent labels.

Oh, and when you hand me the wiring plan, just put it into this little JSON shape so I can read it easily:
{
""solution"": [[u1, v1], [u2, v2], ...]
}
""solution"" should be a list of the cable segments you plan to use. Each inner pair [u1, v1] is one cable connecting vendor u1 to vendor v1. Think of it like a simple checklist of which stands get linked together β€” just the structure, not the prices or anything. This is only a sketch of the shape I expect, not the final answer itself.

Keep the sum of chosen link costs as low as possible while connecting exactly 15 sites into a single tree.
You can just return the selected links in a tiny JSON snippet like this β€” nice and simple:
{
""solution"": [[u1, v1], [u2, v2], ...]
}
Think of it like a short checklist: ""solution"" holds a list of links, and each [uX, vX] pair is one chosen connection between two sites. It's just the shape we expect, not the actual plan β€” fill those pairs with the real site identifiers from the instance when you send the answer.
Please make sure to use the identifiers exactly as they appear in the instance input β€” no renaming and no invented labels.

KMST,KMST,"At the office they handed over a map and asked for a tight, loop-free connection among a fixed number of stations, and the consultant must decide the layout. The practical decision is picking exactly that many stations and the connecting links that make them one connected set with no circular tracks. The preferred layout is the one with the lowest total length of new track β€” calculate that by summing all chosen segment lengths, and the plan with the smallest sum wins. All chosen stations have to be included, cycles are not permitted, and segments are counted once; the concrete instance follows below.
The map shows 22 stations and 28 candidate segments; the consultant must pick exactly 11 stations and the connecting links to form a single, loop-free network.

When you’re ready to hand back the exact layout, just use this tidy little JSON shape so I can read it automatically:
{
""solution"": [[u1, v1], [u2, v2], ...]
}

We list a road connecting 11 and 6 with travel time 7786.0.
We list a road connecting 13 and 15 with travel time 2419.0.
We list a road connecting 14 and 15 with travel time 1986.0.
We’ll use these entries to choose the 13-station tree with minimum total travel time.
Just send the chosen tree as a small JSON snippet so it's easy to check automatically. Something like this works fine:
{
""solution"": [[u1, v1], [u2, v2], ...]
}
Here ""solution"" is the list of roads you'll pick for the aid network. Each pair like [u1, v1] is one road connecting station u1 to station v1. Think of it as a simple form: one pair per chosen road, and together the pairs should connect exactly k stations without any loops.

When you send the plan back, please stick to this simple JSON layout so I can read it automatically:
{
""solution"": [[u1, v1], [u2, v2], ...]
}
This shows a list of corridor pairs β€” each pair is an edge between two chosen pads (so [u1, v1] means a corridor connecting pad u1 and pad v1). Think of it like a little form: the ""solution"" field holds all the chosen corridors that make up your connected, loop-free system. This JSON is just a sketch of the shape I need, not the actual answer β€” replace those placeholders with the real pad identifiers from the instance.
Please be careful to use the identifiers exactly as they appear in the instance input β€” no renaming and no new labels.

""solution"": [[u1, v1], [u2, v2], ...]
}
Each pair [u1, v1] is just one road connecting two supplier locations in the final locked-in network β€” list every road you’re using so that the k locations become one connected, non-repeating layout. Think of the JSON as a quick form: ""solution"" holds a list of edges (each edge is a two-item list).
This JSON is only a sketch of the expected shape, not the actual answer β€” replace the placeholders with the real node identifiers from the instance input. Please use those identifiers exactly as they appear in the input β€” do not rename them or invent new labels.

KMST,KMST,"Someone on the logistics floor has to pick a handful of hubs and schedule one-way or two-way transfer lanes so those hubs form a single, loop-free network. The choice is about which hubs make the cut and which direct lanes to open; the way to tell which choice is better is to add up all the lane distances β€” the smaller that total, the better the plan. Practical ground rules: include exactly the required number of hubs, ensure each chosen hub can reach the others through the lanes, and avoid creating circular routes or repeating hubs. The concrete details are shown below.
From 25 hubs and 30 candidate lanes, they must choose exactly 10 hubs and open lanes so those hubs form a single, loop-free connected network.
Candidate lane between hub 20 and hub 1 with distance 10.0.
Candidate lane between hub 20 and hub 21 with distance 1086.0.
Candidate lane between hub 20 and hub 3 with distance 692.0.

Candidate lane between hub 22 and hub 12 with distance 111.0.
Candidate lane between hub 22 and hub 9 with distance 208.0.
Candidate lane between hub 14 and hub 6 with distance 276624.0.

Candidate lane between hub 18 and hub 19 with distance 91.0.
Candidate lane between hub 19 and hub 13 with distance 888.0.
They must include exactly 10 hubs, ensure every chosen hub can reach the others, avoid cycles, and minimize the sum of lane distances.
If you want to send the plan back, just pop it into a tiny JSON snippet like this β€” I find it easiest to think of it as ""a list of lanes, each lane is a pair of hubs.""
{
""solution"": [[u1, v1], [u2, v2], ...]
}
In plain terms: ""solution"" is the list, and each [u, v] pair is a lane from hub u to hub v. Think of it like filling out a simple form: one line per lane, with the two hubs that the lane connects.

KMST,KMST,"Recently the crew got instructions to wire a precise number of lamps along a neighborhood and make them one cohesive circuit. The plan must pick exactly that many different lights, join them using the available conduit paths so they’re all connected, and avoid creating any closed loops; the cost of a plan is simply the sum of the conduit run costs used, and the aim is to keep that sum as low as possible. No duplicates or missing lights are allowed β€” each selected fixture is part of the single, loop-free network. The specific layout and numbers are shown below.

Oh, and when you send back your wiring plan, please stick to this little JSON layout so it’s easy to read and check:

Here ""solution"" is just the list of conduit runs you picked β€” each inner pair [u1, v1] is one connection joining two lamps.

""solution"": [[u1, v1], [u2, v2], ...]

I'll use these entries to pick the exact 14 sites and build the minimum-mileage layout that connects them without loops.
Also, a quick format note β€” when you send back the roads you pick, it'd be great if you put them in a little JSON snippet like this:
{
""solution"": [[u1, v1], [u2, v2], ...]
}
This just means ""solution"" is the list of roads you'll build. Each pair like [u1, v1] is a road connecting the two chosen sites. Think of it like filling out a short form: one line per road, listing the two endpoints. It's only a sketch of the shape I want, not the actual answer you should compute.

KMST,KMST,"Recently the cable company got a brief to wire up a handful of junctions: they must choose an exact number of those junctions and link them with coax so the chosen set is all connected together, with no closed loops. Plans are judged by how little cable they require β€” simply total the lengths of all the links you’d place. The practical constraints are straightforward: exactly that many junctions, each included only once, everything connected, and no looped paths. The specific data is given below.

KMST,KMST,"Heading into the next round of surveys, the responsibility is to select a specified count of plots and pick links that tie those plots into a single connected, loopless measurement structure. The plan that wins is the one with the smallest combined link distance β€” just total the lengths of all the links chosen. Every selected plot must be included once, everything must be connected together, and there can’t be any loops or repeated plot selections. The concrete details for the instance are shown below.

Also, when you send your plan back, please use this simple JSON layout so it's easy to read and check:
{
""solution"": [[u1, v1], [u2, v2], ...]
}
Here ""solution"" is just a list of the links you want to include; each inner pair [u, v] is a single link connecting plot u to plot v. Think of it like filling in a short form: list the chosen connections one pair at a time. This block is just a sketch of the shape I expect, not the actual answer.

KMST,KMST,"Someone from network operations has to choose a handful of small cells β€” exactly k β€” and set up backhaul so the chosen cells form a single connected layout with no loops or redundant paths. The goal is simply to keep the total backhaul expense as low as possible, measured by adding the cost of each link used. The detailed layout and costs are listed below.
There are 29 small-cell sites and 34 candidate links; exactly 12 of the sites must be activated and connected.

If you want to send back the chosen links, just use this simple JSON shape β€” a list of the selected edges under ""solution"". For example:
{
""solution"": [[""u1"", ""v1""], [""u2"", ""v2""], ...]
}
This is just a sketch of the shape I expect: ""solution"" holds a list of pairs, and each pair is an edge between two small-cell identifiers (the two ends of a backhaul link). Keep it light and use the same identifiers the instance uses β€” this block isn't the final answer, just the format I'll read.
Also: all identifiers must be used exactly as they appear in the instance input β€” no renaming and no new labels.
- for example: ""Valid identifiers look like plain numbers such as β€œ1” or β€œ23”, single capital letters like β€œA” or β€œB”, or a capital letter followed by digits like β€œA1” or β€œX7”.""","{'problem_type': 'KMST', 'num_nodes': 29, 'num_edges': 34, 'edges': [{'u': 15, 'v': 25, 'w': 517.0}, {'u': 15, 'v': 26, 'w': 596.0}, {'u': 23, 'v': 13, 'w': 3743.0}, {'u': 16, 'v': 29, 'w': 267.0}, {'u': 16, 'v': 27, 'w': 1394.0}, {'u': 4, 'v': 26, 'w': 2559.0}, {'u': 4, 'v': 17, 'w': 2707.0}, {'u': 17, 'v': 29, 'w': 1128.0}, {'u': 18, 'v': 7, 'w': 32.0}, {'u': 18, 'v': 8, 'w': 2584.0}, {'u': 18, 'v': 19, 'w': 1475.0}, {'u': 24, 'v': 25, 'w': 329.0}, {'u': 24, 'v': 20, 'w': 1073.0}, {'u': 24, 'v': 28, 'w': 203.0}, {'u': 25, 'v': 14, 'w': 1333.0}, {'u': 26, 'v': 29, 'w': 1335.0}, {'u': 27, 'v': 28, 'w': 1628.0}, {'u': 27, 'v': 5, 'w': 2381.0}, {'u': 28, 'v': 5, 'w': 2078.0}, {'u': 5, 'v': 12, 'w': 1121.0}, {'u': 5, 'v': 8, 'w': 1672.0}, {'u': 10, 'v': 22, 'w': 2534.0}, {'u': 6, 'v': 12, 'w': 983.0}, {'u': 6, 'v': 22, 'w': 603.0}, {'u': 1, 'v': 2, 'w': 1136.0}, {'u': 1, 'v': 3, 'w': 433.0}, {'u': 2, 'v': 11, 'w': 439.0}, {'u': 2, 'v': 22, 'w': 1978.0}, {'u': 21, 'v': 9, 'w': 4377.0}, {'u': 3, 'v': 20, 'w': 376.0}, {'u': 20, 'v': 11, 'w': 829.0}, {'u': 11, 'v': 12, 'w': 911.0}, {'u': 13, 'v': 9, 'w': 1128.0}, {'u': 8, 'v': 9, 'w': 2376.0}], 'k': 12, 'source_file': 'I073.stp', 'density': 0.08374384236453201}","[[15, 25], [15, 26], [16, 29], [24, 25], [20, 24], [24, 28], [26, 29], [1, 3], [2, 11], [3, 20], [11, 20]]",6397.0,"{'problem_type': 'KMST', 'num_nodes': 29, 'num_edges': 34, 'edges': [{'u': 15, 'v': 25, 'w': 517.0}, {'u': 15, 'v': 26, 'w': 596.0}, {'u': 23, 'v': 13, 'w': 3743.0}, {'u': 16, 'v': 29, 'w': 267.0}, {'u': 16, 'v': 27, 'w': 1394.0}, {'u': 4, 'v': 26, 'w': 2559.0}, {'u': 4, 'v': 17, 'w': 2707.0}, {'u': 17, 'v': 29, 'w': 1128.0}, {'u': 18, 'v': 7, 'w': 32.0}, {'u': 18, 'v': 8, 'w': 2584.0}, {'u': 18, 'v': 19, 'w': 1475.0}, {'u': 24, 'v': 25, 'w': 329.0}, {'u': 24, 'v': 20, 'w': 1073.0}, {'u': 24, 'v': 28, 'w': 203.0}, {'u': 25, 'v': 14, 'w': 1333.0}, {'u': 26, 'v': 29, 'w': 1335.0}, {'u': 27, 'v': 28, 'w': 1628.0}, {'u': 27, 'v': 5, 'w': 2381.0}, {'u': 28, 'v': 5, 'w': 2078.0}, {'u': 5, 'v': 12, 'w': 1121.0}, {'u': 5, 'v': 8, 'w': 1672.0}, {'u': 10, 'v': 22, 'w': 2534.0}, {'u': 6, 'v': 12, 'w': 983.0}, {'u': 6, 'v': 22, 'w': 603.0}, {'u': 1, 'v': 2, 'w': 1136.0}, {'u': 1, 'v': 3, 'w': 433.0}, {'u': 2, 'v': 11, 'w': 439.0}, {'u': 2, 'v': 22, 'w': 1978.0}, {'u': 21, 'v': 9, 'w': 4377.0}, {'u': 3, 'v': 20, 'w': 376.0}, {'u': 20, 'v': 11, 'w': 829.0}, {'u': 11, 'v': 12, 'w': 911.0}, {'u': 13, 'v': 9, 'w': 1128.0}, {'u': 8, 'v': 9, 'w': 2376.0}], 'density': 0.08374384236453201, 'source_file': 'I073.stp', 'k': 12}","[[15, 25], [15, 26], [16, 29], [24, 25], [20, 24], [24, 28], [26, 29], [1, 3], [2, 11], [3, 20], [11, 20]]",50,nl,1
