Remember those maths essay problems from school? Remember your teacher saying "It's not just getting the right answer that is important - it's how you got to it that gets the full marks"? Well this, I hope, is that kind of problem.<br>The idea is for examples to be able to vary names, numbers, constraints; and for the example's problem statement and answers to be easy to recognise from the task's problem description (or variants of). <br>If someone wants to implement natural language processing, be my guest. If someone wants to use a syntax more familiar to constraint programmers then that can be done too, (but think of the likely audience). --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 08:37, 25 June 2011 (UTC) |

This is one of the few tasks that I have set where I don't have a canned answer in Python before setting the task. Well, not really; Pythons solution in [[Amb#Python]] is easilly adapted. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 08:42, 25 June 2011 (UTC) |
