/** Solver for a Twitter puzzle:
https://twitter.com/swansnake/status/1048992371982192641

   This solution is not particularly efficient (it could bail out of loops
   earlier with a different formulation) but is quite simple.  It is somewhat
   efficient in making sure each color has a unique number due to use of the
   array.permute[] method.  It will find all
   possible solutions if there are more than one.

   if brown != red + blue + yellow
