Whose Fish?

http://www.coudal.com/thefish.php

I was once given this question at a job interview (my boss liked to
stress people out). Although I didn't finish the question during the
interview, I still got the job.

So this weekend I created an OO program that solves the problem within
1 to 29 seconds, depending on what order my attributes are initially
entered.

Mine is totally OO and uses no relation database at all, however, it
seems like a great problem to throw at a relational database, which I
would guess may be able to solve it faster.

Any takers? <ahem> ;^)
