The German, who drinks coffee, smokes Prince and lives in the green house, is the one who keeps the fish. Simple really LOL TTFN Marion Hints on how to solve this puzzle. Draw five houses across the top of a sheet of paper. Under each house, label two sections: What you know to be true, and what is known to be false about the house. Start looking at each clue. If you know which house it belongs to, then put it in the "true" section. Any time something is put in the true section, it also goes in the false section for all of the other houses. When you start filling up the false section for each house, start looking at what you could eliminate. For example, if you determine that the first house is not green, nor red, nor blue and it isn't white; you know the first house must be "yellow". This gives you the clue that none of the other houses are yellow, so write that down under each of the other houses. and so on etc etc :-)) --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
