Abstract
Recently, M. Kompatscher proved that for each finite supernilpotent algebra in a congruence modular variety, there is a polynomial time algorithm to solve polynomial equations over this algebra. Let be the maximal arity of the fundamental operations of , and let Applying a method that G. K\'{a}rolyi and C. Szab\'{o} had used to solve equations over finite nilpotent rings, we show that for , there is such that a solution of every system of equations in variables can be found by testing at most (instead of all possible) assignments to the variables. This also yields new information on some circuit satisfiability problems.
