Dear Dennis,

Thank you for the entertaining puzzles. In order to show that logic programming can offer entertaining solutions, I wrote programs (in Picat) for solving the card puzzle:

Be aware that the second part of the problem, i.e., finding the minimum k, is time consuming. I hope that other LP people can offer better and more entertaining solutions.

Best regards,

Neng-Fa
