solution presented below. There are many approaches to solving the SGP, namely design theory techniques, SAT formulations (propositional satisfiability problem), constraint-based approaches, metaheuristic methods, and radix approach. The radix approach assigns golfers into groups based on the addition of numbers in base . Variables in the general case of the SGP can be redefined as golfers who play in groups of golfers for any number . The maximum number of weeks that these golfers can play without regrouping any two golfers is . Applications Working in groups is encouraged in classrooms because it fosters active learning and development of critical-thinking and communication skills. The SGP has been used to assign students into groups in undergraduate chemistry classes and breakout rooms in online meeting software to maximize student interaction and socialization. The SGP has also been used as a model to study tournament scheduling.
