Talk:Puzzles/Logic puzzles/5 Houses

The puzzle is impossible to solve as it stands. Only three drinks (coffee, milk, orange juice) and only three pets (dog, snail, fox) are mentioned in the clues. Hence there is no means of determining either who drinks water as opposed to the other unmentioned drink, or who keeps a fish rather than the other unmentioned pet.

Also, one nationality has been omitted from the clues. But this only prevents the puzzle from being solved if it is the answer to either of the questions. -- Smjg 17:52, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Now it's better. I shall have a go at it at some point.... -- Smjg 10:31, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
