But you didn't say it was your homework, and you should have.  You did
not even mention anything about wanting a hint, rather than a complete
solution.  The more you complain about people revealing that this is
your homework, the more I believe you were trying to hide it, and the
less I believe you are trying to learn and the more I believe you are
trying to cheat.  It doesn't help that you posted the same homework
problem to sci.op-research, somp.constraints, comp.theory, sci.math,
sci.engr.manufacturing, comp.programming, a.bsu.programming, and
comp.constraints.  In none of these places did you mention that it was
your homework, not even in the posting to sci.math, which you posted
after you responded to Professor Borchers's complaint about the
posting in comp.theory.

It makes me wonder if your simulation question in comp.simulation, or
your C++ question in comp.programming, were also homework problems.
Given your track record, I think you should state explicitly whether
your questions are homework or not when you post them, since many
respondents will be more careful to supply only hints to your homework
problems, or may feel it unfair to answer them at all.
