Sorry, but I think you are wrong here and that my actual solution is correct. `/ 1001 - 71 - 34 2000 - 1002 - 72 \ 1003 - 73` [download] If you have 1003, you don't need 73 or 2000. If you have 1002, you don't need 72 (or 2000). If you have 71, you don't need 34 or 1001. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

From my interpretation of the problem, we need a representative from each project: The situation is that each of the many but small projects is handled by a two-person team ... However, money is tight and a new policy has been created: the CEO wants at least one person from each project, ... Given the input, `Bilateral2.pl` hasn't considered project `[1001 2000]`. The output has no representative from that team. (The output did include members that worked with team `[1001 2000]` though).	[reply] [d/l] [select]
