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.
This instance specifies 16 distinct city blocks, 20 candidate streets, and a requirement to connect exactly 5 blocks.
Candidate street connecting blocks 10 and 11 with construction cost 396.0.
Candidate street connecting blocks 10 and 13 with construction cost 268.0.
Candidate street connecting blocks 10 and 2 with construction cost 2.0.
Candidate street connecting blocks 11 and 14 with construction cost 286.0.
Candidate street connecting blocks 11 and 6 with construction cost 466.0.
Candidate street connecting blocks 12 and 7 with construction cost 367.0.
Candidate street connecting blocks 12 and 5 with construction cost 623.0.
Candidate street connecting blocks 6 and 7 with construction cost 412.0.
Candidate street connecting blocks 7 and 2 with construction cost 466.0.
Candidate street connecting blocks 8 and 4 with construction cost 283557.0.
Candidate street connecting blocks 8 and 0 with construction cost 283557.0.
Candidate street connecting blocks 13 and 14 with construction cost 383.0.
Candidate street connecting blocks 13 and 15 with construction cost 816.0.
Candidate street connecting blocks 15 and 3 with construction cost 93.0.
Candidate street connecting blocks 0 and 1 with construction cost 578.0.
Candidate street connecting blocks 0 and 2 with construction cost 608.0.
Candidate street connecting blocks 0 and 3 with construction cost 846.0.
Candidate street connecting blocks 1 and 9 with construction cost 792.0.
Candidate street connecting blocks 3 and 9 with construction cost 147.0.
Candidate street connecting blocks 4 and 5 with construction cost 290.0.
The team must select 5 blocks and the new streets that connect them so the total construction cost is as small as possible.
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.

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,"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,"Someone on the trail crew needs to pick a handful of scenic spots and connect them with new trails and bridges so the selected spots make a single connected system without any circular detours. The better the choice, the less total track to build β€” compute that by summing the lengths of every installed connector β€” and the team must include precisely the set number of viewpoints and avoid leaving gaps or creating duplicate/looping connections. Details for the specific case are shown below.
There are 20 available viewpoints, 26 potential connectors, and the crew must include exactly 6 viewpoints.

Exactly the predetermined number of sites must be used, they all need to be connected, and no circular or repeated tracks are allowed. The concrete site list and the path distances follow below.

KMST,KMST,"I’m playing the role of the city planner who has to pick a fixed number of utility poles and string cable so that every chosen pole can be reached from any other without making any closed loops. The choice is about which exact poles to include and which connections to run between them; a better choice is simply the one that needs the least amount of new cable overall β€” add up the length of each cable segment used and that total is what’s being kept as small as possible. It’s important that exactly the given number of poles are included, none are duplicated, and the wiring can’t form circuits (every selected pole must stay reachable from the others through the network).

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.

All chosen stations have to be included, cycles are not permitted, and segments are counted once; the concrete instance follows below.

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.

Requirements: pick exactly the given number of distinct sites, make sure they are all connected in a single route, and avoid any closed circuits or repeating sites. The particular site coordinates and distances follow below.

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.

KMST,KMST,"Recently the municipality asked for a compact pump layout: settle on a target number of pump stations and select the pipe segments that join them into one connected, cycle-free structure. The plan that uses the smallest total pipe length wins β€” the total is just the sum of the lengths of the pipes chosen. Practically, the design must include exactly that many stations, keep every chosen station connected, avoid any closed loops, and not repeat segments. Concrete instance information appears below.

KMST,KMST,"I’m planning a shoot and need to pick a fixed number of locations for different scenes, then lay down service roads so every chosen site can be driven between without any breaks. The choice is which exact spots to include and which roads to build so that all the picked sites are connected in one continuous layout with no loops or redundant backtracking. A better choice is the one that uses the fewest road miles overall β€” count the length of each service road you include and add them up, and the sum should be as small as possible. The rules are strict: pick exactly the given number of sites, don’t duplicate sites, make sure every chosen site is reachable from any other via the roads, and avoid creating circular routes. The concrete details are shown below.
There are 18 candidate filming sites, 23 potential direct roads, and I must pick exactly 9 sites.

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.

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,"I run the watering schedule at our community garden, and I need to pick a specific number of raised beds to hook up to the shared water line. The job is to decide which beds to include and which hoses to lay so all those chosen beds are joined together in a single network with no closed loops, and the plan is better the less hose it uses β€” you figure that by adding up the lengths of the hoses you’d need. The exact layout and hose lengths for the current case are shown below.
There are 18 raised beds and 21 candidate hose segments; I must connect exactly 9 beds into a single loop-free watering network.
Between bed 7 and bed 13 I can lay a hose of length 2502.0.
