<p className="mt-0">To understand how the Blossom algorithm and the primal-dual method can be combined to create maximum weighted matchings, we first need to briefly review each concept:</p>
1. **Blossom Algorithm**: The Blossom algorithm is primarily used to find a maximum cardinality matching in a general graph (i.e., not just bipartite). A "blossom" in this context refers to an odd cycle in the graph, where the cycle has a particular structure that can be "shrunk" into a single vertex, simplifying the graph and allowing for more matchings to be found.

Take what you will from this information. I'll just sweep it under the rug right now, since we'll simply be "borrowing" an implementation of the above algorithm to solve this challenge. Let me know if you are knowledgable in this area and would like to contribute to this section!
