The measure of success is total visitor travel — add up each cluster’s distance to its chosen stop, and the plan with the lowest total is best. The specific candidate locations and distances are listed below. There are 6 locations in this instance; open exactly 2 stops chosen from 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. From 0 to 1: 44. From 0 to 2: 35. From 0 to 3: 35. From 0 to 4: 32. From 0 to 5: 39. From 1 to 0: 44. From 1 to 2: 42. From 1 to 3: 34. From 1 to 4: 38. From 1 to 5: 43. From 2 to 0: 35. From 2 to 1: 42. From 2 to 3: 29.

Assign every community cluster to one chosen stop so the total visitor travel across these 6 locations is minimized. When you send the final plan, just drop it in this simple JSON shape so everything stays tidy and easy to read: { ""solution"": { ""selected"": [, , ...], ""assignments"": [, , ...] } } ""selected"" is where you list the stops the mobile library will actually use, and ""assignments"" says, for each community cluster in the order they were given, which of those opened stops they should go to.

The practical yardstick is clear — for each entrance figure the walk to its linked kiosk, sum all those walks, and the arrangement with the smallest total walking distance makes shoppers happiest. The detailed site options and distances are given below. The ops manager recorded 5 total locations, must open 1 kiosks, and listed the locations as 0, 1, 2, 3, 4. Entrance 0 to kiosk 1: walking distance 120. Entrance 0 to kiosk 2: walking distance 92. Entrance 0 to kiosk 3: walking distance 75. Entrance 0 to kiosk 4: walking distance 91.

Every neighborhood must be assigned to exactly one open stall, and the number of stalls is set in advance. The detailed list of locations and pairwise distances is provided below.
