Is it possible the is a mistake in the sum column on the third row?
Should the be a 1?

Depending on how you store those wishes I'd think you can use
random.shuffle()!?

But do you think simply maximising the score is the optimal solution to 
the problem?
That way some kids will get their both wishes fulfilled (s, e and p in 
your example), while other kids not even one (r, z, j, v, c, y, g, m, d).
Shouldn't be the goal to maximise the number of kinds which get at least 
one wished kid in the same room? (I hesitate writing "friend", since you 
maybe wouldn't want to be picked by someone... Friend would be pairs of 
kids picking each other. Another thing one might want to takeinto 
account. :-))
