It reads from standard input, splits, sorts and groups by family, then it merges the families by zipping them into each other, starting with the small ones, always prepending the "overhanging" rest members to the result (as zip drops the last elements of the longer list). By prepending the rests its ensured that in the next zipping these members get mixed up too (if possible at all).
Because no additional shuffling of the names is done, the result for a given list is always the same and depends on the name order (as the pre-sorting does not look at the first names), so to get different results, you have to pre-shuffle the list... example usage with shuffling (assuming a unix shell):
shuf namefile | runhaskell rubyquiz2.hs
