Can somebody help me on Who Lives in the City of Einstein Puzzle?
I am not able to fix between Eilish and Amy who is the 4th and who is the 5th in the queue.
I think both works, in other words, there may be two answers.
Can somebody enlighten me how I can fix Amy as the 4th person in the queue as the Solution says?
Thanks.

hi dgkim8
Welcome to the forum!
Haven't tried that puzzle so I'll have a go now and then post again.

hi dgkim8
I see what you mean. I think I've got three solutions all satisfying the constraints.
Below I've shown them, with the fixed elements in black and the bits that I think may be changed in red.

Thanks, Bob. Amazed at your three solutions. I did not have your solution 1 and 2. I just had your solution 3 but I thought in solution 3, the upper right 4 cells can be reversed, that is, Amy + Eastenders can be the 5th and Eilish + Neighbors to the 4th. Then there would be 4 solutions. As a novice, I thought so-called Einstein Puzzles are supposed to have only "one" solution like Sudoku. It seems I was wrong, then.

Yes,Einstein puzzles should have only one solution,but I guess MIF missed the others or just didn't check.

But does it matter if there is more than one solution? In life that can happen. I think it is the thinking that matters.

If there are more solutions they should be added to the ons MIF posted. Otherwise,someone might think that his solution is incorrect.

Re: Can somebody help me on Who Lives in the City of Einstein Puzzle?
I would add the hint:
"The 21-year-old is next to Eilish."
That would give us a unique solution.
