A clean-up crew is stationed at facility F and wants to take the shortest route to each site. They usually clean up facilities B and A on the same day and therefore want the shortest route from F to each facility
Recommend a route for the crew to leave from F, clean up each facility A and B, and then return to facility F. (Assume all paths are accessible.)
Answer: F-E-G-B-D-A-C-F for a total of 77. (This is a small version of the traveling salesmen problem. Doing the minimal spanning tree prior to this problem may be helpful.). The clean-up crew may want to add additional facilities on the days they clean up A and B if they have time.
