Fair Teams Problem¶
You’re organizing a competitive rock-skipping league. 6 coaches and 20 players have signed up. Your job is to randomly
and fairly determine the teams, assigning players to coaches. Keep in mind that some teams will have three players and
some teams will have four players. Given a Series of coaches
and a Series of players
, create a Series of random
coach-to-player mappings. The resulting Series should have coach names in its index and corresponding player names in
its values.
