#1 Re: Help Me ! » who owns the fish » 2007-01-11 12:51:35

The German owns the fish.
The yellow house: Norwegian, water, hokey, cats
The blue house: Dane, Tea, Baseball, horses
The red house:  Brit, milk, polo, birds
The Green house: German, CF, Soccer, FISH
The White house:   Swede, Beer, Billiards, dogs

This was a tough problem I drew five boxes and started recording what could go in each house and what couldn't, I than realized the order of the house had to be yellow, blue, red, gree, and white as the green house was to the left of the white house and drank coffee and the yellow house was first with the blue house being next to the yellow house.  If milk was the middle houses beverage the and the white and green house remained a pair than I had the order of homes.  Once I had the order I started to fill in what I knew and what could be and began to eliminate, kind of like suduko.

I hope these hints help to solve with your students.
