Eight political committees must meet on the same day, but some members are on more than one committee. Thus, any committees that have member in common cannot meet at the same time. An "X" in the table indicates that the two corresponding committees share a member. Determine the minimum number of meeting times that will be necessary so that all members can attend the appropriate meetings.
