    Hello! I'm no big fan of the puzzles (I do not collect its, etc.) but I'd like share with you this one, which I really enjoyed too much. I found it in one of old issues SoftArtisans "News Flash" mailing list. --- There are five houses. Each house has its own unique color. All house owners are of different nationalities. They all have different pets. They all drink different drinks. They all smoke different cigarettes. The English man 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. They drink coffee in the green house. 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 cats. In the house next to the house where they have a 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 next to the house where they smoke Blend. So, who owns the Zebra? --- Enjoy! SlavoF "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand." --Confucius
