Hi!

I'm trying to solve this puzzle: http://programmingpraxis.com/2009/11/27/7-11/

Here is my very straightforward code:

:- lib(ic).
solve :-
    Sum = 711,
    Product = 711,
    Prices = [A, B, C, D],
    A #> 0, B #> 0, C #> 0, D #> 0,
    A + B + C + D #= Sum,
    A * B * C * D #= Product * 1000000,
    labeling(Prices),
    writeln(Prices).

It works, but it's too slow.
Is there any way to speed it up without being too clever and
explicitly say to ECLiPSe that the prices of the four items must come
from the list of divisors of 711?

Sergey.
