I continued working on the Division Alignment problem and I believe this setup is as close to optimal as possible. Every manager is in a division with 10 others twice, 10 others once, and then 3 others zero times. Sharing a division 3 or more times will never happen. If it didn't make a mistake, can we consider this?
