The array below represents a set of 16 playing cards, with the A's representing Aces:

A 5 5 A 5 2 4 10 3 8 7 4 A A 2 6

Divide the array into sections of adjacent cards so that the sum of the cards' values in each section will be 21. Each Ace can represent either 1 or 11 and you must determine how many sections are needed.
