Yep, that was my first thought, too. Languages like Prolog are great
at calculating best fit scenarios[1]. I'm also completely astounded that
anyone could seriously believe that calculating a school time table would
require significant amounts of compute power.

[1] Which isn't to say I like Prolog -- indeed, I find it quite unpleasant
    to program. But it would seem to be the right tool for this task.
