Three: Gritters Brain Box Tough Questions section. A quite difficult brainteaser below. No prizes, but quite a complex problems for you to wile away a few hours with when you can't get out on the golf course.
The problem of the Golfer and his car This is a lengthy, difficult though solvable puzzle and contains no trickery or misleading clues. It is in three parts, the situation, the clues, the question. a) The situation is: 1.There are five adjacent houses in a street. Each house is a different colour (The five colours are, not in any particular order, White, Blue, Red, Green and yellow) 2. In each house lives just one person, each with a different nationality. (The nationalities are, not in any particular order, British, Swedish, German, Norwegian and Danish) 3.The five owners each drink a certain beverage These are, not in any particular order, Coffee, tea, milk, water and beer. 4. They each smoke a particular brand of cigarette These are, not in any particular order, Marlborough, Dunhill, Cheroots, Bensons and Sovereigns 5. They each keep a pet These are, not in any particular order, Dog, cat, horse, bird, fish 6. They each drive a different make of car These are, again in no particular order, Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Saab and Rover 7. They each play a sport or game These are, again in no specific order, Golf, Tennis, Snooker, Bridge and Squash.
