+# A brute force approach:
+# Iterate over all permutations of the given numbers, assign them to the
+# boxes and select those having equal box sums.
+
+# index-to-box assignments: 
+use constant BOX => ([0, 1], [1, 2, 3], [3, 4, 5], [5, 6]);
+
+sub puzzle (@num) {

+        # Sum over the the numbers contained in each box and count the
+        # unique values thereof.  Collect a solution if the sums consist
+        # of a single value.
+        # Double slice: pick the indices belonging to the current
+        # box from the permutation and then collect the respective
+        # numbers.
+        push @puzzle, [@num[@_]]
