I'll be the first to admit the following doesn't quite look like a C program. It's in fact in Perl, which outputs a C source, which in turn solves the puzzle. If you think this is long, wait till you see the C it writes.

 

use utf8;

 

# write C code. If it's ugly to you: I didn't write; Perl did.

This is a different type of generate-and-prune compared to Norvig. The Norvig solution generates each attribute for 5 houses, then prunes and repeats with the next attribute. Here all houses with possible attributes are first generated and pruned to 78 candidates. The second phase proceeds over the combination of 5 houses from that 78, generating and pruning 1 house at a time. (See Benchmarks below)

We use the '''amb''' library to solve the puzzle. The number of tries - calls to zebra-puzzle - is only 1900, before finding all solutions. Note that there are no declarations for things (cats, tea, ..) or categories (animals, drinks, ..) which are discovered when reading the constraints.

This solution generates all houses that fits the rules for single houses, then it checks multi-house rules. It would be faster to check multi-house rules while generating the houses. I have not added this complexity since the current program takes just a few seconds.

The Logtalk distribution includes a solution for a variant of this puzzle (here reproduced with permission):

 

/* Houses logical puzzle: who owns the zebra and who drinks water?

 

 

:- end_object.

 

Sample query:

| ?- houses::(houses(S), print(S)).

h(norwegian,fox,kool,water,yellow)

 

S = [h(norwegian,fox,kool,water,yellow),h(ukrainian,horse,chesterfield,tea,blue),h(english,snake,winston,milk,red),h(japonese,zebra,kent,coffee,green),h(spanish,dog,lucky,juice,white)]

 

=={{header|Mathematica}}/{{header|Wolfram Language}}==

This should be read as follows: Each column shows (in blocks of 5) the possible candidates of each kind (beverage, animal, smoke...)

We solve it now in a 'sudoku' way: We remove candidates iteratively until we are left with 1 candidate of each kind for each house.

EliminatePoss[ct_, key1_, key2_] := Module[{t = ct, poss1, poss2, poss, notposs},

poss1 = Position[t, key1];

 

bigtable = FixedPoint[FilterPuzzle, bigtable];

Using the command FixedPoint, we iteratively filter out these candidates, until we are (hopefully) left with 1 candidate per kind per house.
