One assumes there must be *some* Prolog expertise in the place --
otherwise, who's teaching the course this guy is taking?  It seems to me
that either:
  (i) the course instructor has not told them much about Prolog nor
provided            sources from which they can fiund information, or
 (ii) this student is trying take the easy way out and get someone in
some other        part of the world to do the work for him -- in which
case Lee's help is           just the sort he deserves!

Then again, maybe he's really overawed by having the ability to talk to
the rest of the world and didn't have anything else to say to us.
