Alex needs an algorithm that makes sure every match is stable (a matching is stable when there does not exist any pair (applicant, medical school) where both prefer each other to their current partner under the matching).

Extra 500 points if you can provide the interpolated Lagrange polynomial.
What is $17. The Lagrange polynomial is:
5*((x-1)(x-2))/((0-1)(0-2)) + 10((x-0)(x-2))/((1-0)(1-2))+14((x-0)(x-1))/((2-0)(2-1))
Which simplifies to:
-x^2/2 + (11 x)/2 + 5
