Title: Are our brains degenerating? (Part 2)
Post by brain_cramps on Feb 26^th, 2003, 11:53am

A little test for everyone...

There are 5 houses on a block, all different colors. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. The five owners drink a certain drink, smoke a certain brand, and have a certain pet. No owners drink the same drink, smoke the same brand, or have the same pet.

Each of the following statements is true:

The Brit lives in a red house
The Dane drinks tea
The German smokes Prince
The green house is on the left of the white house
The green house owner drinks coffee
The man living in the house in the middle drinks milk
The man who has horses lives next door to the man who smokes Dunhills
The man who smokes Blend has a neighbor who drinks water
The man who smokes Blend lives next to the man who has cats
The man who smokes Blue Masters drinks beer
The Norwegian lives in the first house
The Norwegian lives next to the blue house
The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhills
The person who smokes Pall Mall's has birds
The Swede has a dog

Who has a pet fish?

There is only 1 answer, but a number of ways of arriving at it.

Good Luck

Can I cheat again by getting people to email me the answer? ;D
I'll have to sit and figure this one out when I have some serious time on my hands, LOL.

Nope, just made a 5 column table and started listing the givens. Pretty soon all the squares were filled in except the pet one under the German.

You can buy these things in puzzle magazines with the blank columns all drawn for you.

I have attack periods where I do nothing but these....

Wasn't the subject brain deterioration? Right!

to answer the original question "Are our brains degenerating?"

Yes.

But everyone's is degenerating at the same speed so nobody notices.

By the year 2672 we have the intelligence of a sea slug.

Yes, maybe, I think.

But I'm not sure, I think or something.

Charlie... at least I was.
