Hey,

I bought the 'Jess In Action' book over the weekend and am trying to come up
to speed with Jess.

After reading the first ~100 pages, I decided to attempt to use Jess to
solve an old puzzle of mine.

PROBLEM: Define a set of coins amounting to exactly $1.00 using exactly 50
coins.

APPROACH: I thought I'd assert he following facts,

  2 Half dollar facts
  4 Quarter facts
 10 Dime facts
 20 Nickel facts
100 Penny facts

Then define a rule to print the facts such that the number of facts (coins)
is 50 and the value of the 50 facts equals 100 ($1.00).

Unfortunately, I quickly ran up against the "facts must be unique"
requirement.

I'm continuing to work on a solution, but thought I'd ask for advice in
parallel.

Thanks in advance.
-Mitch
