== The Go rant ==

The first Go solution lists a blank program after much protesting, saying that this problem is easily solved by hand thus not worth programming for. It ignored the fact that a human with a pencil and stack of paper is (more than) Turing complete, thus by the same logic nothing is ever worthy of a program. I think it's really uncalled for. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 06:20, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Problem with Python csp library

The downloaded library relied on a utils.unique() function which is not part of the utils standard library. I had to edit the source of csp.py to use set() instead. --Paddy3118 17:18, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
