6 Naah, SAT is doomed. A (bad) vanilla CP model is doable, but in my
7 experience of students doing these kinds of projects, SAT and IP look
8 sufficiently "mathsy" to count as a maths project, but if you hand in a
9 CP model to a mathematician they'll go "I don't understand, you just
10 wrote down some stuff describing something. This isn't maths!"...
