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 city’s 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. Readers can only go to branches that are actually opened, no one is left unassigned, and libraries can serve any number of people. The detailed data are shown below.
There are 7 librarys and 14 readers in this instance.

If you want to send back a candidate setup, just use this simple JSON layout so I can read it reliably.
{
""solution"": {
""selected"": [<library_to_open>, <library_to_open>, ...],
""assignments"": [<chosen_open_library>, <chosen_open_library>, ...]
}
}
Here, ""selected"" is the list of library locations you plan to open, and ""assignments"" is a list giving, for each reader in the input order, which opened library they would go to. Think of it like filling out a short form: pick the branches you open, then for every reader say which branch they use.
This JSON is only a sketch of the expected shape β€” not the final answer. Please make sure to use the exact identifiers from the instance input, with no renaming and no extra 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

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. Each kitchen has an activation charge, and assigning an order to a kitchen brings a delivery-distance cost; the overall cost of any choice equals the sum of the activation charges for the kitchens used plus the delivery distances for every order. All orders must be assigned to one active kitchen only, and active kitchens can serve any number of orders, so the aim is to end up with the combination that produces the smallest total cost. The specific kitchens, their fees and the list of orders are shown below.
There are 6 kitchens and 13 orders in this instance.

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.
- 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

UFLP,UFLP,"I’m trying to sort out which EV chargers to put in our apartment complex and how to link each resident’s car to one of the chargers. The idea is to pick a set of chargers to install (each has an installation fee) and then sign each car up to exactly one of the chargers that actually gets installed. A plan is better when the overall bill is lower β€” just add up all the installation fees for the chargers chosen plus the walking distance for every resident from their parking spot to their assigned charger β€” and the goal is to make that total as small as possible. Chargers can serve more than one car, but no car can be left unassigned or signed up to more than one charger.

UFLP,UFLP,"Many people browse the clothing tents at the market, and the organizer needs to pick which pop-up stalls to pay for and then route every shopper to one of the paid stalls. Each stall carries a rent, and each shopper’s walk to their stall carries a travel cost, so the best setup is the one with the lowest total: add the rents for all the stalls that are booked and the travel cost for every shopper to reach their single assigned stall. Each shopper must be matched to exactly one rented stall, and shoppers are only allowed to go to stalls that were actually rented.

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.

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 weren’t 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.
There were 5 candidate vans, 13 appointments, and deployment costs 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000.

The owner then chose vans and assignments to minimize the combined deployment and travel cost.
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.
This JSON is just the expected shape β€” a sketch β€” not the actual solution.
Important: all identifiers must be used exactly as they appear in the instance input β€” no renaming and no new labels.

UFLP,UFLP,"Many people on the planning team are working through a straightforward trade-off: open more pickup hubs (which costs money) or have customers travel farther (which raises travel bills). The task is to choose which hubs to open and register each customer to a single opened hub so that when you add together the hub opening charges and all customer travel costs the total is as small as it can be. Every customer must be assigned to exactly one hub that’s been opened, and customers can’t use hubs that remain closed. The specific options and numbers are shown below.

UFLP,UFLP,"I’m the one putting together the community garden plan this season: pick which plots to get ready and then place every interested family into exactly one of those prepared plots. Only plots that are prepared can take families, and a plot can host any number of families. The goal is to keep the total bill down β€” add up the setup cost for each plot that’s prepared plus the travel cost for every family to their assigned plot β€” and choose the combination that yields the smallest total.

You can send back the final plan in a little JSON snippet like this β€” just helps me parse it easily. Something in this shape will do:
{
""solution"": {
""selected"": [<plot_to_prepare>, <plot_to_prepare>, ...],
""assignments"": [<assigned_plot>, <assigned_plot>, ...]
}
}
Quick, friendly guide: ""selected"" is the list of plots you decide to get ready (those incur setup costs). ""assignments"" lists, in order, which prepared plot each family will use (so the first entry is the plot for the first family, the second for the second family, and so on). Think of this JSON as a simple form β€” a sketch of the shape I need, not the final numbers.
Please make sure all plot and family identifiers you put in there match the instance exactly β€” don’t rename them or invent new labels.

UFLP,UFLP,"Someone on the team needs to decide which weekend sites to launch so all students have a weekend tutoring spot. Each candidate site carries a launch price, and every student will have some commute cost depending on which site they use. The choice is twofold: pick which sites to open, then put each student at exactly one of those opened sites β€” no skipping students and no splitting them between centers. To compare choices, add up the costs to open the chosen sites plus the commuting costs for all students to their assigned sites; the plan with the smallest total bill is preferable. Sites aren’t capacity-limited, but students may only be assigned to sites that are actually launched. The concrete details are shown below.

Also, when you hand back the plan, it helps if you use a simple JSON shape like this so we can read it automatically β€” nothing fancy, just the bits we need:
{
""solution"": {
""selected"": [<site_to_open>, <site_to_open>, ...],
""assignments"": [<chosen_open_site>, <chosen_open_site>, ...]
}
}

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"": [<stall_to_lease>, <stall_to_lease>, ...],
""assignments"": [<leased_stall_for_artisan>, <leased_stall_for_artisan>, ...]

UFLP,UFLP,"Someone in charge needs to figure out which remote work pods to put up on campus and how to seat the freelancers. The rule is every freelancer gets assigned to one and only one of the pods that were actually installed β€” no double-assignments and no sending anyone to a non-existent pod. The best setup is the one that keeps the total cost down, where that total is the sum of all pod installation charges plus all freelancers’ commuting inconvenience to their assigned pod. The specific instance details follow below.

So, when you send the answer back, a little JSON sketch like this is perfect β€” just showing which pods you actually install and which pod each freelancer is sent to:
{
""solution"": {
""selected"": [<pod_to_install>, <pod_to_install>, ...],
""assignments"": [<assigned_pod>, <assigned_pod>, ...]
}
}
""selected"" is where you list the pods you put up (one entry per pod). ""assignments"" lists, in order, the pod each freelancer uses β€” one entry per freelancer. Super informal: think of ""selected"" as the installations box and ""assignments"" as the seating map. This is only the shape I expect, not the final choices.

UFLP,UFLP,"In our district the administrator must choose which temporary classroom trailers to bring in and then put every after-school student into one of the trailers that arrived. The decision is to select which trailers to bring and then assign each student to exactly one of those brought trailers (students can’t go to trailers that weren’t brought, and nobody gets left without an assignment). What makes one plan preferable is the total cost you end up with β€” add together the cost to bring the chosen trailers plus the travel-time cost for every student getting to their assigned trailer; the plan with the lowest combined total is best. Trailers can hold any number of students, and the concrete details will be shown below.

If you want to send back a plan, just use this simple JSON shape so I can read it easily β€” nothing fancy, just a small form that says which trailers you brought and which trailer each student goes to.
{
""solution"": {
""selected"": [""<trailer_to_bring>"", ""<trailer_to_bring>"", ...],
""assignments"": [""<assigned_trailer>"", ""<assigned_trailer>"", ...]
}
}
Think of ""selected"" as the list of trailers you decided to bring in, and ""assignments"" as a student-by-student list saying which of the brought trailers each student will go to (in the same student order as the instance).

UFLP,UFLP,"Around town the recycling squad is planning which drop-off sites to maintain and how to route every block to a single maintained site. Closed sites won’t be available, blocks can’t split their pickups, and maintained sites can serve unlimited blocks. What makes one plan better is the total sum: all the maintenance fees for the kept sites plus the distances people from each block must travel to their assigned site β€” the lower that combined sum, the better the plan. The specific instance details follow below.

UFLP,UFLP,"Someone managing the farm markets needs to pick which roadside produce stands will operate this season and assign each regular buyer to a single open stand. Better choices are those that cut the total expense, calculated by adding the operating costs for all stands left open plus the travel cost for each customer to their chosen stand.

There are 4 candidate roadside produce stands, 9 regular buyers, and the stand opening costs are 5234, 3751, 6957, 3907.
Stand F1 has an opening cost of 5234.
Stand F2 has an opening cost of 3751.
Stand F3 has an opening cost of 6957.
Stand F4 has an opening cost of 3907.

These numbers are for the manager to use in choosing which stands to open and how to assign buyers so the total expense (stand opening costs plus travel costs) is minimized.
If you want to send me the plan in a tidy, machine-friendly way, just use this simple JSON shape below β€” it shows which stands to open and which open stand each buyer will go to.
{
""solution"": {
""selected"": [<site_to_open>, <site_to_open>, ...],
""assignments"": [<chosen_open_site>, <chosen_open_site>, ...]
}
}
""selected"" is the list of stands you'll keep operating this season. ""assignments"" says, for each regular buyer (in the same order as the instance), which open stand they go to. Think of it like filling out a short form: pick the open stands, then list each buyer's chosen stand. This is just a sketch of the shape I need, not the actual filled-in answer.
Please make sure to use the exact identifiers from the instance input β€” do not rename them or invent new ones.

UFLP,UFLP,"At the conservatory the director must decide which piano practice rooms to operate and then send every musician to one of those open rooms. The smart trade-off is obvious in plain terms: keep an eye on the sum of the room upkeep bills plus the walking time for all musicians, and choose the setup with the least total. Each musician is assigned to exactly one available room β€” closed rooms aren’t options β€” and open rooms can host multiple musicians without limit. The specific room costs and walking distances are listed below.

UFLP,UFLP,"We’re organizing a citywide donation drive and need to pick which potential drop-off boxes to install and then decide which installed box each donor will go to. Each possible box costs money to place, and each donor incurs some detour to reach the box they’re assigned to, so the trick is to keep the total cost down by adding all the installation fees and every donor’s extra travel; a lower total means a better rollout. Also, every donor must be routed to one single box that’s actually been installed β€” no duplicates, no unassigned donors, and nobody should be told to use a box that wasn’t put out.

Oh, and one more practical thing β€” when you send the plan back, a tiny JSON sketch like the one below is perfect for me. It just lists which boxes we actually install and then, for each donor, which installed box they should go to.
{
""solution"": {
""selected"": [<site_to_open>, <site_to_open>, ...],
""assignments"": [<chosen_dropbox>, <chosen_dropbox>, ...]
}
}
""selected"" is the list of drop-off box locations you decide to install. ""assignments"" is a list with one entry per donor saying which installed box they should use. Super casual: think of ""selected"" as the checklist of boxes we put out, and ""assignments"" as the little directions we hand each donor. This is just the expected shape β€” not the final plan itself.
Please use the exact identifiers from the instance input when filling those lists β€” do not rename identifiers or invent new ones.

UFLP,UFLP,"Recently the social services office was tasked with picking which evening soup kitchens to fund and assigning every nearby person in need to one of the funded kitchens. The rule is clear: only funded kitchens can receive people, everyone must be sent to one and only one kitchen, and any funded kitchen can serve as many people as needed. What they want is the cheapest overall arrangement β€” total up the funding commitments plus each person’s travel cost to their assigned kitchen, and keep that total as low as possible. Detailed numbers and locations are shown below.
There are 5 candidate evening soup kitchens, 11 nearby people in need, and the kitchen funding costs are 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000.
Kitchen F1 requires a funding commitment of 1000 to open.
Kitchen F2 requires a funding commitment of 1000 to open.
Kitchen F3 requires a funding commitment of 1000 to open.
Kitchen F4 requires a funding commitment of 1000 to open.

One quick thing before you go: it'd be great if you could return the final choice in a tiny JSON form so it's easy to read. Here's the relaxed shape I'm expecting β€” just a small sketch showing which kitchens we fund and which funded kitchen each person is sent to.

You can just hand me the answer in a tiny JSON form like this β€” nothing fancy, just which sites you flip on and then, for every device in order, which powered site it uses:
{
""solution"": {
""selected"": [<site_to_open>, <site_to_open>, ...],
""assignments"": [<chosen_open_site>, <chosen_open_site>, ...]
}

""selected"" is the short list of servers (sites) you decide to power up. ""assignments"" lists, in the same order as the devices were given in the instance, the site each device is bound to. Think of it like filling out a simple form: first pick the open sites, then say where each device goes. This JSON is just the shape I need β€” not the real answer.
Please make sure to use the exact identifiers from the instance input β€” don't rename or invent labels. 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”.","{'opening_costs': [9895, 2122, 7733, 7070], 'connection_costs': [[128, 22, 890, 707, 603, 436, 622, 727, 849, 254], [319, 400, 374, 803, 250, 410, 931, 464, 829, 622], [82, 793, 54, 21, 857, 625, 145, 347, 193, 565], [815, 793, 951, 12, 328, 339, 932, 132, 568, 53]], 'objective': 7524.0}","{'open_facilities': [1], 'assignments': [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]}",7524.0,"{'problem_type': 'UFLP', 'num_facilities': 4, 'num_customers': 10, 'facilities': [{'id': 'F1', 'opening_cost': 9895}, {'id': 'F2', 'opening_cost': 2122}, {'id': 'F3', 'opening_cost': 7733}, {'id': 'F4', 'opening_cost': 7070}], 'customers': [{'id': 0}, {'id': 1}, {'id': 2}, {'id': 3}, {'id': 4}, {'id': 5}, {'id': 6}, {'id': 7}, {'id': 8}, {'id': 9}], 'connection_costs': [{'facility': 'F1', 'customer': 0, 'cost': 128}, {'facility': 'F1', 'customer': 1, 'cost': 22}, {'facility': 'F1', 'customer': 2, 'cost': 890}, {'facility': 'F1', 'customer': 3, 'cost': 707}, {'facility': 'F1', 'customer': 4, 'cost': 603}, {'facility': 'F1', 'customer': 5, 'cost': 436}, {'facility': 'F1', 'customer': 6, 'cost': 622}, {'facility': 'F1', 'customer': 7, 'cost': 727}, {'facility': 'F1', 'customer': 8, 'cost': 849}, {'facility': 'F1', 'customer': 9, 'cost': 254}, {'facility': 'F2', 'customer': 0, 'cost': 319}, {'facility': 'F2', 'customer': 1, 'cost': 400}, {'facility': 'F2', 'customer': 2, 'cost': 374}, {'facility': 'F2', 'customer': 3, 'cost': 803}, {'facility': 'F2', 'customer': 4, 'cost': 250}, {'facility': 'F2', 'customer': 5, 'cost': 410}, {'facility': 'F2', 'customer': 6, 'cost': 931}, {'facility': 'F2', 'customer': 7, 'cost': 464}, {'facility': 'F2', 'customer': 8, 'cost': 829}, {'facility': 'F2', 'customer': 9, 'cost': 622}, {'facility': 'F3', 'customer': 0, 'cost': 82}, {'facility': 'F3', 'customer': 1, 'cost': 793}, {'facility': 'F3', 'customer': 2, 'cost': 54}, {'facility': 'F3', 'customer': 3, 'cost': 21}, {'facility': 'F3', 'customer': 4, 'cost': 857}, {'facility': 'F3', 'customer': 5, 'cost': 625}, {'facility': 'F3', 'customer': 6, 'cost': 145}, {'facility': 'F3', 'customer': 7, 'cost': 347}, {'facility': 'F3', 'customer': 8, 'cost': 193}, {'facility': 'F3', 'customer': 9, 'cost': 565}, {'facility': 'F4', 'customer': 0, 'cost': 815}, {'facility': 'F4', 'customer': 1, 'cost': 793}, {'facility': 'F4', 'customer': 2, 'cost': 951}, {'facility': 'F4', 'customer': 3, 'cost': 12}, {'facility': 'F4', 'customer': 4, 'cost': 328}, {'facility': 'F4', 'customer': 5, 'cost': 339}, {'facility': 'F4', 'customer': 6, 'cost': 932}, {'facility': 'F4', 'customer': 7, 'cost': 132}, {'facility': 'F4', 'customer': 8, 'cost': 568}, {'facility': 'F4', 'customer': 9, 'cost': 53}], 'objective': 7524.0}","{'selected': ['F2'], 'assignments': ['F2', 'F2', 'F2', 'F2', 'F2', 'F2', 'F2', 'F2', 'F2', 'F2']}",20,nl,0
UFLP,UFLP,"Out on the road the charging crew chooses which stations to fire up and which active station each customer will visit. Switching on a station costs money, and sending a customer there causes a detour cost β€” every customer needs exactly one station and can’t be split between stations.

Also, to keep things tidy, please return your pick in this simple JSON shape β€” just a quick sketch of the form I’ll read. It should look like this:
{
""solution"": {
""selected"": [<station_to_open>, <station_to_open>, ...],
""assignments"": [<chosen_open_station>, <chosen_open_station>, ...]
}
}
""selected"" is the list of stations the crew decides to switch on. ""assignments"" lists, for each customer in the input order, which opened station that customer will visit. Think of it like a filled-in form: which stations are active, and for each customer where they go.
This JSON is just the expected shape β€” not the actual solution itself. And one more important note: use the exact identifiers from the instance input, do not rename them or invent new labels.

UFLP,UFLP,"Someone on the school staff is lining up afternoon tutoring and has to pick which rooms to open and where each student will go. What makes one plan better than another is simple: add together the rental charges for the chosen rooms and the travel burden for each student β€” the plan that gives the smallest combined amount is preferred. No student can be left unassigned or split between rooms; every student goes to one offered room, and rooms don’t have hard capacity limits. The concrete details follow below.

If you want to hand me the plan, a small JSON sketch is easiest β€” something that lists which rooms you open and, for each student, which opened room they go to. Here’s the shape I expect:
{
""solution"": {
""selected"": [<room_to_open>, <room_to_open>, ...],
""assignments"": [<chosen_open_room>, <chosen_open_room>, ...]
}
}
""selected"" is just the list of room IDs you decide to open (the rental charges will be counted for those). ""assignments"" gives one entry per student showing the room they’ll attend β€” so the first entry is the room for the first student, the second for the second student, and so on. Easy, no extra fields needed.

UFLP,UFLP,"Many people rely on the bookmobile, and the outreach team must pick from a list of possible stops, each with its own price to operate. Patrons are scattered around, so once stops are chosen each patron needs to be assigned to exactly one of those running stops. The smart choice is the one that minimizes the total cost β€” the running costs for chosen stops plus the combined travel distance of everyone β€” calculated by simply adding those two parts together. No patron can be assigned to more than one stop or be left out, and assignments only count if the stop is actually running. The specifics are shown below.

When you reply, just stick to this simple JSON layout so it's easy to parse and check.
{
""solution"": {
""selected"": [<stop_to_open>, <stop_to_open>, ...],
""assignments"": [<assigned_stop>, <assigned_stop>, ...]
}
}
""selected"" is where you list the stops you decide to run (the ones you pay to operate). ""assignments"" is a list, in the same order as the patrons in the instance, saying which running stop each patron will use. Think of it like filling out a form: pick the stops, then say for each patron which stop they're going to.

UFLP,UFLP,"Many people don’t realize how much goes into choosing which distribution points to run for a farmers market network and how to route vendors there. Each candidate point has a cost to bring online, and each vendor has a cost to haul goods to whichever point they use. The goal is to keep the overall expense as small as possible β€” the total is simply the combined cost of the points we decide to run plus all vendors’ hauling costs β€” and every vendor must be sent to exactly one running point, with no duplicates or omissions.

Also, I’ll keep my reply in a simple JSON layout so it’s easy to fill in β€” here’s the shape I expect you to follow:

""solution"": {
""selected"": [<site_to_open>, <site_to_open>, ...],
""assignments"": [<chosen_open_site>, <chosen_open_site>, ...]

""selected"" is the list of market points you decide to run (put the exact identifiers from the instance there). ""assignments"" is a list, one entry per vendor in the same order as the instance, showing which open point that vendor goes to.

To measure a plan, total the staffing costs for the tables that are opened and then add every visitor’s walk cost based on which table they’re sent to.

You can just send back the choices in a tiny JSON snippet like this:

""solution"": {
""selected"": [<depot_to_open>, <depot_to_open>, ...],
""assignments"": [<chosen_open_depot>, <chosen_open_depot>, ...]
}
}
Think of ""selected"" as the list of depots you decide to switch on, and ""assignments"" as, for each delivery in order, which opened depot will handle it. Super casual sketch β€” not the final picks, just the shape I need.

UFLP,UFLP,"There’s a community project to roll out lending lockers for a local tool library so people can pick up items at convenient spots. The job is to pick which lockers to install and then attach every borrower to exactly one of the installed lockers β€” nobody should be missing or duplicated in the sign-up list. Effectiveness is judged by the sum of two things: the cost of installing the chosen lockers plus the sum of each borrower’s effort to fetch their tools; the lower that combined sum, the better the plan. The specific locker locations, installation costs, and borrower list will be shown below.

UFLP,UFLP,"Recently the county asked us to choose which vaccination sites to operate and to assign each resident to a single chosen site.

Make sure everyone has one assigned site and no one is assigned twice; the concrete figures are shown below.
For our decision we have 5 candidate sites, 13 residents, and the sequence of site operating costs 2000, 2000, 2000, 2000, 2000.

""assignments"" is a list, in the same order as the residents in the instance, saying which chosen site each resident will go to. Think of it like filling out a simple form: which sites are open, and which site each person is assigned to.

UFLP,UFLP,"I run a fleet of mobile pet groomers and have to pick which pop-up grooming tents to put up around town and then send every client to one of those tents. The trick is that each tent costs money to set up, and every client has a travel or pickup cost to get to the tent they use, so the better plan is the one that keeps the overall bill as low as possible β€” add up the setup fees for the tents that are put up plus the travel/pickup cost for every client. Each client has to be assigned to exactly one of the tents we actually set up (no one gets skipped and nobody goes to two places), and tents can handle as many pets as needed. The concrete details are shown below.

Also, just so everything comes back to me in a predictable shape, please put the plan in this little JSON layout when you reply β€” just the same structure, nice and simple:
{
""solution"": {
""selected"": [<tent_to_open>, <tent_to_open>, ...],
""assignments"": [<chosen_open_tent>, <chosen_open_tent>, ...]
}
}
""selected"" is where you list the tents you decide to set up. ""assignments"" is a client-by-client list (in the same order as the input) saying which opened tent each client will go to. Think of it like filling out a short form: which tents are up, and for every client which tent they use.
This JSON is just a sketch of the expected shape β€” not the actual answer itself.
Please make sure to use the exact identifiers from the instance input when you fill this in β€” don't rename them or invent new labels.

UFLP,UFLP,"I’m looking after the city’s waste dropoff network and need to choose which pickup sites to keep open and which to close. Each site kept costs money to maintain, and every household has some effort or travel distance to get to whichever site they use. A good plan is simply one that costs less overall: add up the upkeep costs for the sites that stay open plus the travel burden for every household to its assigned site, and keep that total as small as possible. Every household has to be assigned to exactly one of the sites that are kept open β€” nobody can be left without a dropoff or sent to a closed one. The exact list of sites, their maintenance fees, and household travel numbers are shown below.
There are 5 dropoff sites and 12 households in this instance.

{
""solution"": {
""selected"": [<site_to_open>, <site_to_open>, ...],
""assignments"": [<chosen_open_site>, <chosen_open_site>, ...]

}

UFLP,UFLP,"Many people assumed the answer was β€œturn on everything,” but the ops crew knew better: only some nodes should be enabled, and each user should be assigned to one enabled node. Switching on a node costs money, and each user routed pays a latency cost β€” the overall amount to watch is the sum of those activation fees plus the users’ latency costs, so a plan that lowers that sum wins. Each user needs a single assigned active node (no doubling up or leaving anyone out), and capacity isn’t a constraint. The specifics are given below.

If you want to reply with the plan, please stick to this simple JSON shape so it's easy to parse β€” just a tiny sketch of which nodes you turn on and who goes where.
{
""solution"": {
""selected"": [<node_to_enable>, <node_to_enable>, ...],
""assignments"": [<assigned_node>, <assigned_node>, ...]
}
}
""selected"" is the list of nodes you switch on (the activation fees you pay). ""assignments"" is a per-user list β€” for each user in the same order as the input, put the one active node they're routed to. Think of it like filling out a short form: which nodes are enabled, and then, for each user, which enabled node they use. This JSON is just the expected shape β€” not the actual answer.
Please make sure to use the identifiers exactly as they appear in the instance input β€” do not rename them or invent new labels.

UFLP,UFLP,"Many people depend on our local meal pickup program, and part of running it is choosing which kitchens to turn on and deciding a single kitchen for each recipient. Turning on a kitchen costs a set amount, and getting a meal from that kitchen to a person has its own cost β€” the grand total is the sum of the kitchens we open plus all the individual pickup/delivery charges. Every recipient must be paired with one open kitchen (no doubles, no omissions), and open kitchens can take unlimited orders. The concrete numbers and options are listed below.

If you prefer a neat, copy-pastable format for the result, I'll use a tiny JSON sketch like this so it's easy to read and check:
{
""solution"": {
""selected"": [<kitchen_to_open>, <kitchen_to_open>, ...],
""assignments"": [<kitchen_chosen_for_recipient>, <kitchen_chosen_for_recipient>, ...]
}
}

UFLP,UFLP,"Someone on the events crew has to map out which pop-up booths get rented and then tie each customer group to a single one of those booths. Each group must end up at exactly one open booth (no leftovers, no multiple assignments), and booths can host as many groups as needed. The deciding factor is total cost: take the fees for the booths that are opened and add the travel/service cost for every group to its assigned booth β€” the configuration with the smallest total is the one to pick. The precise details are shown below.

When you answer, just return the picks in a tiny JSON blob like the one below so it's easy to parse β€” nothing fancy, just the two lists we need.
{
""solution"": {
""selected"": [<site_to_open>, <site_to_open>, ...],
""assignments"": [<assigned_site>, <assigned_site>, ...]
}
}
Think of ""selected"" as the booths we decide to rent, and ""assignments"" as a simple one-entry-per-group list saying which rented booth each group goes to. Super casual: selected = which booths are open, assignments = which open booth each group is tied to.
This JSON is just a sketch of the shape I want back β€” not the real answer. Also, please use the exact identifiers from the instance input with no renaming and no new labels.

UFLP,UFLP,"Recently the bike-share folks have been mapping out which docks to open and which dock every rider should be linked to. There’s a cost to open any dock and a separate inconvenience score for each rider depending on which opened dock they use, so the winning plan is simply the one with the smallest combined cost: the total of all dock-opening fees plus the total of all riders’ access costs. Nobody can be left without a registered dock or assigned to a dock that wasn’t opened, and docks don’t have limits on how many riders they can handle. The concrete details are shown below.

Oh, and when you send the plan back, just use this simple JSON shape so I can read it easily:
{
""solution"": {
""selected"": [<dock_to_open>, <dock_to_open>, ...],
""assignments"": [<assigned_dock>, <assigned_dock>, ...]
}
}
""selected"" is where you list the docks you choose to open. ""assignments"" is a parallel list (one entry per rider, in the same order as the input) saying which opened dock each rider is linked to. Think of it like filling out a form: which docks are active, and who goes to which one.
This is just a sketch of the expected shape, not the actual answerβ€”I'll need the real identifiers from the instance to produce a concrete plan. Please make sure you use the identifiers exactly as they appear in the 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”.","{'opening_costs': [3814, 4790, 4967, 2487, 3191], 'connection_costs': [[774, 647, 850, 391, 247, 25, 825, 433, 9, 395], [897, 563, 68, 456, 138, 470, 670, 686, 401, 61], [986, 275, 481, 1, 254, 716, 115, 308, 308, 665], [981, 465, 40, 751, 607, 262, 477, 823, 586, 436], [281, 105, 733, 993, 54, 466, 592, 47, 637, 838]], 'objective': 7915.0}","{'open_facilities': [3], 'assignments': [3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3]}",7915.0,"{'problem_type': 'UFLP', 'num_facilities': 5, 'num_customers': 10, 'facilities': [{'id': 'F1', 'opening_cost': 3814}, {'id': 'F2', 'opening_cost': 4790}, {'id': 'F3', 'opening_cost': 4967}, {'id': 'F4', 'opening_cost': 2487}, {'id': 'F5', 'opening_cost': 3191}], 'customers': [{'id': 'A'}, {'id': 'B'}, {'id': 'C'}, {'id': 'D'}, {'id': 'E'}, {'id': 'F'}, {'id': 'G'}, {'id': 'H'}, {'id': 'I'}, {'id': 'J'}], 'connection_costs': [{'facility': 'F1', 'customer': 'A', 'cost': 774}, {'facility': 'F1', 'customer': 'B', 'cost': 647}, {'facility': 'F1', 'customer': 'C', 'cost': 850}, {'facility': 'F1', 'customer': 'D', 'cost': 391}, {'facility': 'F1', 'customer': 'E', 'cost': 247}, {'facility': 'F1', 'customer': 'F', 'cost': 25}, {'facility': 'F1', 'customer': 'G', 'cost': 825}, {'facility': 'F1', 'customer': 'H', 'cost': 433}, {'facility': 'F1', 'customer': 'I', 'cost': 9}, {'facility': 'F1', 'customer': 'J', 'cost': 395}, {'facility': 'F2', 'customer': 'A', 'cost': 897}, {'facility': 'F2', 'customer': 'B', 'cost': 563}, {'facility': 'F2', 'customer': 'C', 'cost': 68}, {'facility': 'F2', 'customer': 'D', 'cost': 456}, {'facility': 'F2', 'customer': 'E', 'cost': 138}, {'facility': 'F2', 'customer': 'F', 'cost': 470}, {'facility': 'F2', 'customer': 'G', 'cost': 670}, {'facility': 'F2', 'customer': 'H', 'cost': 686}, {'facility': 'F2', 'customer': 'I', 'cost': 401}, {'facility': 'F2', 'customer': 'J', 'cost': 61}, {'facility': 'F3', 'customer': 'A', 'cost': 986}, {'facility': 'F3', 'customer': 'B', 'cost': 275}, {'facility': 'F3', 'customer': 'C', 'cost': 481}, {'facility': 'F3', 'customer': 'D', 'cost': 1}, {'facility': 'F3', 'customer': 'E', 'cost': 254}, {'facility': 'F3', 'customer': 'F', 'cost': 716}, {'facility': 'F3', 'customer': 'G', 'cost': 115}, {'facility': 'F3', 'customer': 'H', 'cost': 308}, {'facility': 'F3', 'customer': 'I', 'cost': 308}, {'facility': 'F3', 'customer': 'J', 'cost': 665}, {'facility': 'F4', 'customer': 'A', 'cost': 981}, {'facility': 'F4', 'customer': 'B', 'cost': 465}, {'facility': 'F4', 'customer': 'C', 'cost': 40}, {'facility': 'F4', 'customer': 'D', 'cost': 751}, {'facility': 'F4', 'customer': 'E', 'cost': 607}, {'facility': 'F4', 'customer': 'F', 'cost': 262}, {'facility': 'F4', 'customer': 'G', 'cost': 477}, {'facility': 'F4', 'customer': 'H', 'cost': 823}, {'facility': 'F4', 'customer': 'I', 'cost': 586}, {'facility': 'F4', 'customer': 'J', 'cost': 436}, {'facility': 'F5', 'customer': 'A', 'cost': 281}, {'facility': 'F5', 'customer': 'B', 'cost': 105}, {'facility': 'F5', 'customer': 'C', 'cost': 733}, {'facility': 'F5', 'customer': 'D', 'cost': 993}, {'facility': 'F5', 'customer': 'E', 'cost': 54}, {'facility': 'F5', 'customer': 'F', 'cost': 466}, {'facility': 'F5', 'customer': 'G', 'cost': 592}, {'facility': 'F5', 'customer': 'H', 'cost': 47}, {'facility': 'F5', 'customer': 'I', 'cost': 637}, {'facility': 'F5', 'customer': 'J', 'cost': 838}], 'objective': 7915.0}","{'selected': ['F4'], 'assignments': ['F4', 'F4', 'F4', 'F4', 'F4', 'F4', 'F4', 'F4', 'F4', 'F4']}",34,json,names
UFLP,UFLP,"We coordinate a network of volunteer tutoring spots and are deciding which spots to activate and which active spot each student should go to. Activating a spot costs money, and each student has a travel cost depending on which active spot they’re sent to. Better choices are those where the sum of the activation costs plus all students’ travel costs ends up lowest. Each student must go to one, and only one, active spot; nobody gets skipped. The concrete details are listed below.
We have 6 candidate hubs, 13 learners, and hub activation costs 6554, 6022, 6957, 7764, 7198, 2961.
Hub F1 has an activation cost of 6554.

We will use these details to pick which hubs to open and assign each learner so total activation plus travel costs is minimized.
Also, when you send back the actual choices, please use a tiny JSON snippet like this to tell us which spots you activate and which active spot each student goes to.

""solution"": {
""selected"": [<spot_to_activate>, <spot_to_activate>, ...],
""assignments"": [<assigned_spot>, <assigned_spot>, ...]

Think of it like filling out a short form β€” which locations are turned on, and for each student which turned-on spot they’ll use.
The JSON above is only an example of the shape we need, not the answer itself.
One more important thing β€” use the exact identifiers from the instance input, do not rename them or invent new ones. 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”.","{'opening_costs': [6554,

UFLP,UFLP,"Recently during the response phase it became clear: decide which depots to activate and assign every affected household to one of the open depots. Activating a depot comes with a price, and every household will incur some effort to reach the depot they’re sent to. The plan that wins is the one with the lowest overall sum β€” add together the operating cost for every opened depot and the pickup effort for every household. Every household has to be assigned to exactly one open depot; nothing is omitted or duplicated. The concrete details appear below.

UFLP,UFLP,"Recently the team running a neighborhood art rental decided to rethink which pickup spots to offer and who should use each spot. The idea is to balance the cost of running each spot with how much it costs clients to get there β€” the plan that wins is the one with the lowest sum of the chosen spots’ operating fees plus all clients’ connection costs. It’s important that every client is assigned to one, and only one, open pickup point (no sharing and no leaving anyone out). The concrete details are provided below.
There are 5 candidate pickup points and 12 clients; pickup point operation fees are 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000.

Each following line names one pickup point or one client-to-point cost; together they define the inputs for selecting the lowest-cost plan.
Oh, and when you send the final pick of spots and who goes where, please use a simple JSON shape like this so I can read it automatically:
{
""solution"": {
""selected"": [<pickup_spot>, <pickup_spot>, ...],
""assignments"": [<assigned_spot>, <assigned_spot>, ...]
}
}
Pretty straightforward: ""selected"" is the list of pickup spots you choose to open, and ""assignments"" lists, in customer order, which open spot each customer will use. Think of it like filling out a quick form β€” this is just the expected shape, not the final content.

UFLP,UFLP,"Many people in town use a subscription meal-kit, and the business needs to choose which packing locations to run and which location handles each order.

Decisions should minimize the total of chosen opening fees plus the shipping costs for all assigned orders.
Also, when you send back your answer, please follow this simple JSON layout so I can read it easily:
{
""solution"": {
""selected"": [<packing_site_to_open>, <packing_site_to_open>, ...],
""assignments"": [<chosen_packing_location>, <chosen_packing_location>, ...]
}
}
This little sketch is just the shape I need: the selected list is where you say which packing locations we’ll run, and the assignments list says, for each order in the instance, which open packing location handles it. Think of it like a short form: ""selected"" = which sites we turn on, ""assignments"" = which site packs each order.
This is only a template of the expected shape β€” not the final answer itself.

UFLP,UFLP,"There’s a town shuttle plan on my desk: a list of possible stops with activation prices and a list of commuters with how far they’d have to travel to each stop. The trick is to decide which stops to switch on and then pair every commuter with one of the switched-on stops so the combined bill β€” paying for the stops we turned on plus the travel cost for everyone β€” ends up as small as it can be. Everyone must be assigned to a single active stop (no one gets skipped or sent to multiple stops), and active stops can handle unlimited riders. The concrete data appear below.
There are 6 stops and 13 commuters in this instance.

I'll give the result in a small, predictable JSON shape so it's easy to read β€” nothing fancy, just the two things we need to report.

Pretty straightforward: ""selected"" is the list of stops we switch on (the activation purchases), and ""assignments"" tells which active stop each commuter uses, in the same order the commuters appear in the input. This is just the sketch of the expected shape, not the actual answer.

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 it’s sent to, so the combined totalβ€”stall fees plus total walking distanceβ€”is 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.

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.
This JSON is just a sketch of the expected shape β€” not the actual answer. Please make sure to use the exact identifiers from the instance input (do not rename them and don’t invent new labels).

Also, when you send back the actual choices, please use this simple JSON layout so it’s easy to read and plug into our tools β€” here’s the shape we expect:
{
""solution"": {
""selected"": [<site_to_open>, <site_to_open>, ...],
""assignments"": [<chosen_open_site>, <chosen_open_site>, ...]
}
}
Quick note on what those fields mean in plain terms: selected is the list of depot ids you decide to open; assignments lists, for each clinic (in the same order as the instance), the id of the open depot that clinic will use. Think of it like a short form: which depots open, and who goes where.
This JSON is just a sketch of the expected shape β€” not the actual answer. Please make sure all identifiers are used exactly as they appear in the instance input β€” no renaming and no new labels.

UFLP,UFLP,"I run the distribution side of a retail network and need to pick which micro-warehouses to switch on and which hub will serve each shop. The idea is simple: every shop has to be tied to oneβ€”and only oneβ€”open hub, and the total bill is the sum of the opening fees for the hubs chosen plus all the shipment costs from hubs to shops. A plan is better when that combined bill is smaller, so the challenge is to turn on a smart set of hubs and link each shop to one of them without leaving any shop out or giving any shop two homes. The concrete details (locations, fees and shipping costs) are shown below.

Also, when you hand back the plan, please use this little JSON layout so I can read it automatically β€” nothing fancy, just two lists: which micro-warehouses you flip on, and which open micro-warehouse serves each shop.
{
""solution"": {
""selected"": [<microwarehouse_to_open>, <microwarehouse_to_open>, ...],
""assignments"": [<chosen_open_microwarehouse>, <chosen_open_microwarehouse>, ...]
}
}
Think of ""selected"" as the checklist of micro-warehouses you plan to switch on (their IDs), and ""assignments"" as a one-to-one list that says, in the same order as the shops in the instance, which open micro-warehouse will serve that shop.

UFLP,UFLP,"I’m lining up which library-style book branches the district should actually open and then signing each neighborhood school up with one of those open branches. The idea is simple: every branch costs money to start, and each school has a delivery or pickup cost to be served from a particular branch, so the total bill is the sum of the branch opening fees plus all the delivery/pickup charges. The job is to pick which branches to open and make sure every school is assigned to exactly one open branch (no school left unassigned and no school registered to two branches), while keeping that total bill as small as possible. The concrete entriesβ€”branch options, opening fees, and school delivery costsβ€”are listed below.

Also, when you send the solution back, just stick to this little JSON shape so it’s easy to read and parse:
{
""solution"": {
""selected"": [<branch_to_open>, <branch_to_open>, ...],
""assignments"": [<chosen_open_branch>, <chosen_open_branch>, ...]
}
}
This is just a sketch of the shape I’m expecting β€” nothing filled in yet. ""selected"" is the list of branches the district will open, and ""assignments"" is a list (in the same order as the schools were given in the instance) saying which opened branch each school signs up with.

UFLP,UFLP,"Recently the food bank had to tighten the budget, so the director needed to decide which distribution points to keep open. Each candidate point has a running fee, and getting food to a community group from a point costs volunteer time or transport money. The task is to pick the set of points to operate and assign each group to exactly one of those points so that the total expense β€” the sum of the operating fees plus every group’s delivery cost β€” is as small as possible; every group must be assigned once and sites can serve any number of groups. The detailed list of sites, their operating costs, and group-by-group delivery costs is shown below.

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.
This JSON is just the sketch of the shape I expect, not the actual solution.
Please make sure to use the exact identifiers from the instance input β€” do not rename them or create new labels.

UFLP,UFLP,"Many neighborhoods are waiting for pop-up clinic visits, so the coordinator has to decide which health posts to staff and which staffed post each residential cluster will use. The rule is straightforward: each cluster must go to exactly one staffed post (not zero, not two), and any staffed post can take unlimited clusters. The aim is to keep overall expenses as low as possible by adding up the staffing costs for the posts that are opened and the travel cost for all patients to reach their assigned post β€” lower total is better.

UFLP,UFLP,"There’s a practical problem at the co-op: some central pickup sites could stay active while others could be shut down, and each decision affects how far farmers have to travel. The task is to pick a set of sites to keep running (each incurs its own upkeep cost) and then attach each farm to one of those running sites. The measure of a good plan is the total spending β€” the sum of the maintenance bills for the active sites plus all farmers’ delivery costs to their chosen site β€” and that total should be as small as possible. Each farm must be tied to exactly one active site, no exceptions or duplicates. The concrete setup and numbers follow below.

{
""solution"": {
""selected"": [<site_to_open>, <site_to_open>, ...],
""assignments"": [<chosen_open_site>, <chosen_open_site>, ...]

UFLP,UFLP,"There’s a fleet logistics puzzle: the company needs to decide which charging sites to enable and then send each parking zone’s vehicles to a single enabled site. Enabling a site isn’t free, and drivers spend time and fuel getting cars from their zones to the assigned site, so the total expense is the sum of the enabling fees plus all those repositioning costs β€” the aim is to keep that combined expense as low as possible.

Also, please send your answer using a simple JSON shape so it's easy to read and check. Here's the structure I expect:
{
""solution"": {
""selected"": [<site_to_open>, <site_to_open>, ...],
""assignments"": [<chosen_open_site>, <chosen_open_site>, ...]
}
}
""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.

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.
