So you need to come up with a way of mapping the $j^\text{th}$ passenger on the $i^\text{th}$ coach to a room on the first night. On subsequent nights it seems not to matter which coach a passenger arrived on. As far as I can tell, only Kevin's answer addresses this. | |

Fix spelling. ('everday' means commonplace...)

| Apr 14, 2020 at 6:23 | comment | added | celtschk | I assume that whenever you write “infinite” you mean “infinitely many”, right? Remember, “infinite” is a property like ”odd”, not a number like “five”. | |
