Another logic puzzle

5 houses puzzle


There is a claim that less than 2% of the world's population can solve this intriguing
problem (with or without using a computer).

Can you?

1. There are five houses.
2. The Englishman lives in the red house.
3. The Spaniard owns the dog.
4. Coffee is drunk in the green house.
5. The Ukrainian drinks tea.
6. The green house is immediately to the right of the ivory house.
7. The Sun reader owns snails.
8. The Guardian is read in the yellow house.
9. Milk is drunk in the middle house.
10. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
11. The man who reads the Express lives in the house next to the man with the fox.
12. The Guardian is read in the house next to the house where the horse is kept.
13. The Mirror reader drinks orange juice.
14. The Japanese reads The Times.
15. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.

Who drinks water? Who owns the zebra?

In the interest of clarity, it must be added that each of the five houses is painted
a different colour and is on one side of a straight road, and their inhabitants are
of different national extractions, own different pets, drink different beverages and
read different newspapers. One other thing, in statement 6, right means your right.
