In the following scenario I have a square with 100 boxes. I wish to distribute 7 people with varying loads such as A=17, B=17, C=16,D=12, E=10, F=14, G=14. I am trying to issue these cases evenly and fairly across the 100 cells which at the moment are shown in a square 10 x 10 though if there is a better solution to the layout than that, as long as the total squares are 100. It is getting them evenly and fairly distributed my tired old brain is having trouble with, so any advice/help will be greatly appreciated.
I'm not sure what the exact aim is. Perhaps you could arrange two adjoining rectangles, one with 5 columns of 14 boxes, and the other with 2 columns of 15 boxes, and then distribute the loads diagonally across the seven columns.
