    I have tryed to solve this, but I still can't solve it.
    I have to solve this in order to pass my math class.


    There are five houses. In each house lives a man a certain nationality, who has his favorite drink, he favorite game, and own unusual pets.


    1. There are fives houses in a row, each having a different color.

    2. the Englishman lives in the red house.

    3. the green house is to the right to the white house.

    4. The Italian owns a guppy.

    5. Lemonade is drunk in the green house

    6.the swede drinks coffee.

    7. The man who plays backgammon owns a toad.

    8. The man who plays racquetball lives in the yellow house.

    9. The man in the middle house drinks milk.

    10. The russian lives in the first house.

    11. The man next door to the man who plays quoits, own a camel.

    12. The man who owns the rat lives next to the man who plays racquetball.

    13. The man who plays solitaire drinks vodka.

    14, The man who plays charades is an American.

    15. The Russian lives next door to the blue house.


    With the above information you can discover the answer to the following questions.


    Question 1- Which man drinks diet soda?

    Question 2-Which man owns a spider monkey ?


    Every fact must taken into account to answer the two questions.

    Good stuff. I thought this was a little more difficult than the Einstein one.

    I'll PM you my method and then you should be able to figure it out.

    Seriously I couldn't solve that if my life depended on it.

    I read the first line and already got confused.

    Good Luck..!
