It's a simple game but makes you think, thought others would enjoy the challenge.
Took me about 15 minutes to solve.

Ok, you got me on that one. I definately wasn't thinking outside of the box until someone mentioned the title was important. I had all these crazy math functions and patterns going.
Now who's ready for a real logic puzzle. I warn ya, this one will take you MUCH LONGER than 15 minutes (unless you cheat).
The RULES:
There are 5 houses in a row that are five different colors
In each house lives a different nationality.
These 5 owners drink a certain beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar and keep a certain pet.
No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar, or drink the same beverage.
The CLUES:
The Brit lives in the Red house.
The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
The Dane Drinks tea.
The Green House is on the left of the White House.
The Green House's owner drinks coffee.
The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
The man in the center house drinks milk.
The Norwegian lives in the first house.
The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats
The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
The man who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
The German smokes Prince.
The Norwegian lives next to the Blue House.
The man who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water.

Alright... so we have rules, and we have clues... is there a point? something we're supposed to solve?

You've never seen this kind of puzzle before? You have to figure out who lives in which house, what color it is, what they drink, what they smoke, and what pet they have.

Anyone ever taken the GRE? These (houses) type problems were common in the logic section. Oh yeah, I got 800 (out of 800) in that section. I might have to try the puzzle tomorrow to see if I can beat the 15 minute challenge!
