  Ski assignment in Google CP Solver.

  From   Jeffrey Lee Hellrung, Jr.:
  PIC 60, Fall 2008 Final Review, December 12, 2008

  '''
  5. Ski Optimization! Your job at Snapple is pleasant but in the winter
  you've decided to become a ski bum. You've hooked up with the Mount
  Baldy Ski Resort. They'll let you ski all winter for free in exchange
  for helping their ski rental shop with an algorithm to assign skis to
  skiers. Ideally, each skier should obtain a pair of skis whose height
  matches his or her own height exactly. Unfortunately, this is generally
  not possible. We define the disparity between a skier and his or her
  skis to be the absolute value of the difference between the height of
  the skier and the pair of skis. Our objective is to find an assignment
  of skis to skiers that minimizes the sum of the disparities.
  ...
  Illustrate your algorithm by explicitly filling out the A[i, j] table
  for the following sample data:
    * Ski heights: 1, 2, 5, 7, 13, 21.
    * Skier heights: 3, 4, 7, 11, 18.
