Rearrangment of grouping

Due to the limitation of apparatus, grouping has to be adjusted for some expts.e.g. Expt. B2, B11, E1 There is only ONE set of apparatus Adjustment has to be made within the 4 groups scheduled to do this expt. e.g. Expt. D1 There is only TWO sets of apparatus. Four groups has to merge into 2 groups.
