I did not write `tray.svg`, because the six requests cannot all be satisfied — there is no valid one-to-one assignment. Here is the proof.
**Relevant drink properties**
- Dairy: Vanilla cortado, Decaf cortado (exactly 2)
- Decaf: Decaf cortado, Decaf oat vanilla latte (exactly 2)
- Vanilla: Vanilla cortado, Decaf oat vanilla latte (exactly 2)
- Cold: Iced oat latte, Cold brew
- Black: Cold brew, Filter coffee
**The contradiction**
- Tables 1 and 4 both require dairy milk, and only two drinks contain dairy: the Vanilla cortado and the Decaf cortado. So those two drinks are fully consumed by Tables 1 and 4.
- Table 2 requires decaf. The only decaf drinks are the Decaf cortado (already used above) and the Decaf oat vanilla latte. So Table 2 must get the Decaf oat vanilla latte.
- Table 3 requires vanilla. The only vanilla drinks are the Vanilla cortado (used by Table 1/4) and the Decaf oat vanilla latte (used by Table 2). Nothing vanilla is left.
Equivalently, in matching terms: Tables {1,2,3,4} collectively accept only drinks from {Vanilla cortado, Decaf cortado, Decaf oat vanilla latte} — three drinks for four tables. Hall's condition fails, so no perfect matching exists. I also brute-forced all 720 permutations to confirm: **0 valid assignments**.
I considered relaxing Table 1's wording to "no non-dairy milk" (i.e. black coffee allowed), but that produces four different valid assignments, so there is still no unique intended tray.
Because any cup-by-cup label I rendered would necessarily violate at least one table's stated request, I deliberately left `tray.svg` unwritten rather than draw a plausible-looking but incorrect tray. If the intent was that Table 1 merely wants no *plant* milk, tell me and I'll render one of the four valid layouts instead.A serving tray where four tables will only take three drinks: DeepSeek 4.1 Flash

There is no post about this one, since only some results need one, so the picture, the source and the scoring are here instead.
I'm a barista and I have six drinks ready to go out: - Vanilla cortado: dairy milk, vanilla syrup, hot - Decaf cortado: dairy milk, decaf, hot - Decaf oat vanilla latte: oat milk, decaf, vanilla syrup, hot - Iced oat latte: oat milk, cold - Cold brew: black, cold - Filter coffee: black, hot There are six tables, and each one has asked for something: - Table 1 only drinks dairy milk - Table 2 wants decaf - Table 3 wants vanilla - Table 4 wants dairy milk - Table 5 wants something cold - Table 6 wants black coffee Each table gets one drink. Each drink goes to one table. Draw the tray as tray.svg. Label every cup with its table number and the drink's name.Frozen at v2. This model got this and nothing else.
Tables 1, 2, 3 and 4 together will only take the three drinks A, B and C, so no serving of all six exists, and the checker confirms that with its own perfect-matching solver. The right answer says so and draws nothing. Every table still has a drink it will take on its own, so the shortage is only visible across the tables together. How it is scored, and this run's files on GitHub.
