Because of the capacity limit of each truck, each path is predetermined. For example, the truck
on path 1 only has the capacity to meet the needs of guest 1, 2, 3 and 4. The distances between

Try to find out an optimal delivery scheme with the shortest distance to satisfy the needs of
these five guests. There may be the situation that one guest is on two paths at the same time,
we can choose one path to satisfy its need during the actual delivery.
