Secret Santa Assignment: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers participant names (list). Stub page while the tool and its worked example are prepared.
Secret Santa Assignment Generator is a planned calculator in the lifestyle section of Super Calculator, covering games and probability.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: participant names (list), exclusion pairs (list), budget (currency) and draw date (date).
Outputs: assignments (list), valid derangement (bool) and possible assignment count (n).
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: A valid assignment is a derangement, a permutation with no fixed point, and the count of derangements of n items is approximately n factorial divided by e. Exclusion constraints such as couples make it a constrained derangement, solved by rejection sampling or by a bipartite matching.
