== How this will work ==

For each debt, we will essentially create a vector of costs that sum to zero with a component for each person. The purchaser will incur a positive value (the amount they are owed for the transaction) while the payees will each pay for either a weighted portion of the negative cost (in the case of general group) or just a portion of the negative cost divided among the payees. On Thursday morning, we will sum up each of the columns for each person and that will be their total debt and the whole thing will sum to zero.

Given the cost of the apartment rental, people who spent more than USD ~$250 on group items are likely to be owed money. Those that spent less will likely owe money. Amost everyone will pay Mika and I who have fronted the rent for the two apartments and are currently USD $4000 in the hole.

There is a little R program that is already written that will handle the debt pool. The software is free software and you're welcome to work on it!
