Finland Elementary School

Finland Elementary School

Finland Elementary School is provides in XHSTT by Cimmo Nurmi and Jari Kyngäs.


The lowerbound for the cost is 3:

  1. Teacher MM is involved in only 1 event, while the minimum per day is 2 (cost 1).
  2. Resource S5 has only 4 events in two courses, and wants a minimum of 3 events on a day. This clashes with the spread event constraint for the courses (cost 2).
