Prolog is a language that is ideally suited to such problems.
Basically, you give the language a bunch of objects and facts and
relations about those objects, then you ask it questions about them.
It's at least 35 years since I tried Prolog one afternoon, and that's
exactly the kind of task I played with (though a bit smaller).

 
I found Prolog an absolute bugger of a language. Beyond simple clauses it
never did what I expected it to do. Its the one language I never really
got. I think it requires a certain mindset or way of thinking.

from C++!

We had to use it in the AI module at uni. :/

I suspect its raison d'etre has rather been shot down these days as AI has
moved away from propositional logic to neural networks.
