Constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) are a major class of problems
for which this prolog is ideally suited. In a CSP, the goal is to pick
values from pre-defined domains for certain variables so that the given
constraints on the variables are all satisfied.
As a simple CSP example, there's the Send More Money puzzle you can
look up on google.
