I hate to be the one to tell you this, and I think it's only fair to
post it on the net to avoid driving anyone crazy.  One of the conditions
originally set forth for the puzzle was that the green house be immediatly
to the right of the ivory house.  Your posting shows the green house
on the left of the ivory house (an obvious mistake, but I couldn't resist
posting this article anyway !).  This puzzle only took one hour to complete
("honest boss !  I did it during my lunch break !").  I would be curious
to know how long it would take a program to run it (or for that matter
how long it would take to develop a successfull algorithm).  :-)
