[ale] a math/cs question

[Jerry Yu]

Given a varying # of bags, each containing a varying # of  golf balls.
what's the best/practical algorithm to sort these bags to the fewest
buckets. The buckets can hold varying # of golf balls. assume bags don't
consume space.
If the actual # matters,   assume  5~20 bags, 10~500 balls per bag, 500~600
balls per bucket.

I thought some one  else on the list asked for similar things for  backup
grouping. couldn't find in my own ALE archive in gmail :(
