I put the exclusive-or constraint type into my system, like I was talking
about in my last article.  That didn't cause any savings for the Minor
League Baseball problem.  I suspect that there is something unusual about
this problem.  I can't describe it exactly, but at one point the
transitive properties propagate outwards and then come back near where
they started and conflict with the eliminative properties.  This is a way
to reach a contradiction that my program never saw before, despite doing
many complex problems.  I has to put in a special check for it.
