    I know. Did you figure it out yet? Did you make a chart for this? List nationalities on the first row, then fill in in columns below each nationality.

    It's hard to set up a chart here, would have to do it in Word and then c/p so it looks nice.

    What does each nationality smoke? List those. Or read each sentence and plug in each detail noted.

    The Norwegian doesn't have the fish. He has cats.

    Read each sentence and put a detail into your chart.

    Then it makes no sense if he lives in the first house.

    Did you draw the houses? Cut out each house so you can move them around.

    Brit = red house
    Swede = dogs
    Dane = tea
    The green house is next to and to the left of the white house.
    The owner of the green house drinks coffee.
    The person who smokes pallmall rears birds.
    The owner of the yellow house smokes dunhill
    The man living in the center house drinks milk.
    Norwegian = first house
    The man who smokes blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
    The man who keeps horses lives next to the dunhill smoker.
    The man who's smokes blues drinks beer.
    German = smokes Prince
    Norwegian = lives next to the blue house
    The man who smokes blends has a neighbor who drinks water.
