• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Optimal pairing algorithm?

Happy to help. I'd rather noodle on some interesting problem than watch Ophrah anyway.

Sorry I wasn't more explicit about the merge before; I'm confusing this thread with one that's similar in email at work.

Initially, I thought you could just push forward in the longer list and try to find the next best match for the number you're currently considering in the shorter list. A greedy approach doesn't pan out:

A: {3, 10, 15}
B: {0, 1, 2, 9300, 9400}

You're better off matching {3,0} {10, 1}, {15, 2} than you are with {3, 2}, {10, 9300}, {15, 9400}. That's why the more complicated approach is required.
