And then I noticed the beauty of yours versus the inelegance of the Python version. Unlike yours, the Python version fails to abstract the solving code, instead embedding the puzzle in the code itself. With your attempt above, I could quite easily have it solve my own puzzle by touching only the rules, not the actual logic code.
