The article starts with "We've been experimenting with breaking up employees into random groups (of size 4)." How does stopping at a list of group sizes (numbers) help you do that?

If you want to assign people to groups randomly, why not just something like:

  import random
  import numpy

  people = [...]
  min_size = 3

  random.shuffle(people)
  groupings = numpy.array_split(people,len(people)//min_size)
"'Elementary' means that very little is required to know ahead of time in order to understand it, except to have an infinite amount of intelligence."
Is there a (business, legal, etc.) reason for the distinction between one-to-few and one-to-many? Both are one to "more than one".
