The Social Golfer Problem has been extensively used in recent years by the constraint community as an example of highly symmetric problem. It is an excellent problem for benchmarking symmetry breaking mechanisms such as SBDS or SBDD and for demonstrating the importance of the choice of the right model for one problem. We address in this paper a specific instance of the Golfer Problem well known as the Kirkman’s Schoolgirl Problem and list a collection of techniques and tricks to find efficiently all its unique solutions. In particular, we propose SBDD+, an generic improvement over SBDD which allows a deep pruning when a symmetry is detected during the search. Our implementation of the presented techniques allows us to improve previous published results by an order of magnitude for CPU time as well as number of backtracks, and to compute the seven unique solutions of the Kirkman’s problem in a few seconds.
