This is actually a trick question. This is a classic unsolvable problem 
in computer science, known as the Dual Baskets problem. It is 
NP-complete, meaning that there is no easy solution. It requires 
brute-forcing and can take an indefinite period of time to complete, if 
at all.

The correct answer is "Not possible".
