Hi Seppe,

You appear to be calling minimize with Cost already instantiated:

 >    minimize(labeling(Triplets), Cost).

Cost is already set in your previous loop. The idea of the 
branch-and-bound search is that Cost should be instantiated by your 
search routine (labeling(Triplets)) in your case), either directly,
or indirectly (e.g. Cost is in a constraint). The search in 
branch-and-bound will produce only one solution, the one with the 
minimal value for Cost. Since your Cost value is already instantiated,
calling minimize/2 will simply produce the first solution.
