That one was a pisser, wasn't it?

Pascal truly made that program a nasty thing to do.  (By the way, how did my
team end up doing?  I had to leave before dinner.)  I personally would have
voted for doing the program in lisp.  You know...

(defun x() (pp x))

That would have saved us all a lot of time.  I finally got one at the end, but
didn't get the sucker typed in in time.  Oh well.

Anyhow, I'm a novice in prolog and would appreciate knowing an answer for this.
How about re-posting it?
