SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the feasibility of arranging 16 players in a circular interaction where each player has 6 partners—3 on their "plus side" and 3 on their "minus side." The consensus is that a minimum of 7 players is required for each player to interact with 6 others, as they can connect with players on both sides in a circular formation. The proposed method of interaction allows for flexibility in partner selection, ensuring that all players can maintain the required number of interactions without exceeding the total player count.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of circular arrangements in combinatorial mathematics
  • Basic knowledge of graph theory and interactions
  • Familiarity with the concept of partner selection in group dynamics
  • Ability to visualize arrangements in a circular format
NEXT STEPS
  • Research combinatorial mathematics for circular arrangements
  • Explore graph theory concepts related to partner interactions
  • Learn about dynamic group formation techniques
  • Investigate algorithms for optimizing partner selection in games
USEFUL FOR

Game organizers, mathematicians, and anyone involved in designing interactive group activities or team-building exercises.

Hello all! For an activity I'm organizing, I have about 16 players. Each player have interaction with 6 others - 3 which on his plus side, 3 which on his minus side (he can't have a partner that's on both sides).
Basically, what I'd love to know is if the number matches and in the end each player would have 6 partners. I have no real knowledge on math, so I'm sorry if it's a dumb or obvious question. I tried arranging that with tables, thinking that it would probably need 18 players, but I always seem to need more players, to a never ending amount.

Just to clarify, I'm talking about something like that:
Let's look at the 7 first players: Matt, Andrew, Beth, Robb, Zoey, Sean and Daisy. Another note, the 1st player could have interaction with all of the others, potentially, including even the 16th player. I just write it as a follow up for your convenient.

Matt
Plus side: Andrew, Beth, Robb.
Minus Side: Zoey, Sean, Daisy.

Andrew
Plus side: Matt (predetermined because it was decided on Matt's list), Beth, Robb.
Minus side: Zoey, Sean, Daisy.

Beth:
Plus: Matt, Andrew (predetermined), Robb.
Minus: Zoey, Sean, Daisy.

Now we've reached a point where Zoey, Sean and Daisy (Numbers 5, 6 and 7) has no more people on their minus side, so we have to "jump" with Robb to numbers 8, 9 and 10 to continue the count.

Robb:
Plus: Matt, Andrew, Beth (predetermined).
Minus: N8, N9, N10.

When we reach Zoey (N5), her plus side is open, so we can still use N8, N9 and N10 (either on the plus or minus side, both are alright as it's still open).

Zoey:
Plus: N8, N9, N10 OR N11, N12, N13.
Minus: Matt, Andrew, Beth (predetermined).

And so on...
So, I hoped I made myself clear, as English is not my native language. Will every player have 6 others (3 plus, 3 minus) or do I need to add/subtract players?

Thank you so much ahead,
Thijs :)

I'm not clear what you mean by "on his plus side" and "on his minus side". Are you thinking of the players as ordered along a line? But then what about those that are less than three players from an end of the line? In what you write you seem to be saying that you will "jump" to the other end of the line. If that is correct then you might find it better to visualize this as people standing in a circle, all facing inward and "interacting" with three on their left and three on their right. In that case the minimum number of people you need is 7 and in that case every person "interacts" with every other person.
