    Hey Folks,

    Miss already that AoC 2023 is over. Some holidays ahead
    with nothing to do. Don't worry. Why not try this
    one in Prolog:

    "A man has 10 nickels amomng which there is a single
    counterfeit coin, which is either heavier or lighter
    than the other ons. How can one tell in weightings
    whether there is a counterfeit nickel, and if so
    which one it is?"

    Any Prolog solutions? What about CLP(FD) or
    CLP(B) solutions?

    Have Fun!
