I concur rather heartily. This is a good problem for a flexible human brain, but not for a computer, since I am all but positive that no deterministic algorithm exists.

Also, this would be a good problem for a multiple algorithm assault,
where you weigh the various techniques, assign scores, and see which
is the probable answer.
