  OK, maybe there is but I don't like to think about it. Too many variables <g>

Take these four hikers
A..a 5 ft.100 pound woman who carried a 30 lb pack 80% (slacked 20%) of the 
time but
always managed good humor and cheer and was a joy to hike with.
B.  a 6.5 200 pound man who carried a 30lb pack 100% but was a grouch who
complained all the way to Maine making everyone near him miserable.
C   a 150 pound man who carried part of his wife's stuff in his 50 pound
pack all the way to Maine except for two days when he was injured and
slacked.
D   his wife at 120 pounds who carried only her personal stuff (no tent) but
carried it all the way.

How do you arrange these hikers?
