How would that help you? You were obviously set these (very simple)
exercises because the best way of learning a many things, like how to program
in a new programming language, is by DOING IT.

If someone just told you the answers, you wouldn't have tackled this in the
way your teacher meant you to have done, so you wouldn't have learnt by
doing, so you will probably fail the exam at the end of the course.

Just concentrate on satisfying the main interleaving. Don't bother about the
two lists having the same length as this will be an implicit understanding.
The terminating condition should be
xyz([],[],[]).

Just link the even part directly to xyz. The interleaved part will have to
be even, otherwise "no" will be displayed on your screen.

This is not a fair test as it will not force X to be a list. This has to be
done.

Dear Nicolas,

I have sat down for only three or four minutes and have defined the
predicates that answer all of the questions below.

My conclusion is that they are all answerable.

I hope that this help you.

Regards,
James M J Smith.
