Try solving this puzzle.... It is solvable. There are 25 variables and 24
given values. Your are to solve the 25th. The trick is HOW? If you are
looking at the problem mathematically, no sweat. If you get lost in the
English, you are dead meat. You will know you are right by checking the
answer with all the conditions. This test was given by the German
Institute of Logical Thinking in Berlin, 1981 and 98% failed.
There are 5 houses. Each house has its own unique color. All house owners
are of different nationalities. They all have different pets. They all
drinkdifferent drinks. They all smoke different cigarettes. The
Englishman lives in the Red house. The Swede has a Dog. The Dane drinks
Tea. The Green house is on the left side of the White house (the Green
house and the White house are next to each other). In the Green house they
drink Coffee. The man who smokes Pall Mall has Birds. In the Yellow house,
they smoke Dunhill. In the middle house, they drink Milk. The Norwegian
lives in the first house. The man who smokes Blend lives in the house
next to the house with the Cats. In the house next to the house with the
Horse, they smoke Dunhill. The man who smokes Blue Master drinks Beer.
The German smokes Prince. The Norwegian lives next to the Blue house.
They drink Water in the house that lies next to the house where they smoke
Blend.
The Question is: Who owns the Zebra?

Can someone set this up in a matrix form. I've spend all my brain power already.
