Solver for Snape's potion riddle in Prolog

Solver for the Potion Riddle

A Prolog program to solve Snape's potion puzzle from the first Harry Potter book.

I used the SWI-Prolog environment during the implementation.

Usage

1. Ensure SWI-Prolog is installed. SWI-Prolog is a package on most major Linux distributions.
2. Run swipl -f main.pl
3. Get the solution

?- solution(X).
X = [poison, wine, ahead, poison, poison, wine, back] .

Notes

As solving the riddle relies on seeing the bottles, and the book doesn't disclose enough information, this solver relies on the drawing included in the Pottermore game.
