Summary
Given n points in a plane, representing gophers, and some other m points representing escape holes, knowing the speed of any gopher v (in this problem all gophers have the same speed), find the minimum number of gophers, that can escape in s time knowing that no gopher can escape to the same hole.

Explanation
Because we have two types of points in the plane (gophers and holes), we can reduce the problem to finding the maximum matching (between gophers and holes), meaning the maximum number of gophers that can escape. Our result would be the difference between the number of total gophers and the escaped ones. The maximal matching ensures that no gophers use the same hole.

The easiest way of finding the maximum matching is to use a flow algorithm. First we must build the graph.

In order to do so we must first compute what holes can a gopher reach in time. Knowing that $$speed = distance / time$$, it means that a gopher can reach a hole in time

if  $$s * v >= dist(i, j)$$, where dist(i, j) is the distance between gopher i, and the hole j

Now between every gopher and a recheable hole, we draw an edge, and set it's capacity to 1. We also need to create a new node, that will be our source node), and from it to every gopher we draw an edge and set it's capacity to 1. Similary we create a sink (a destination), and from every hole we draw an edge and set it's capacity to 1.

All we have to do now is run a Maximum Flow algorithm between the source and the destination, and output $$n-maxFlow$$.
