There is a row of five houses, each with a front door of a different colour. Each house has a single occupant, each of whom has a different pet, prefers a different alcoholic drink, and smokes a different brand of cigarettes than any of the others.
Brenda's house has a red door.
Sandra has a pet dog.
Deirdre prefers whiskey.
The house with the green door is next to the house with the white door, on the left.
The person with the green door prefers lager.
The person who smokes Pall Mall has a pet rabbit.
The person with the yellow door smokes Dunhill.
The person living in the centre house prefers wine.
Nancy lives in the first house.
The person who smokes Benson & Hedges lives next to the one with a pet cat.
The person with a pet hamster lives next to the person who smokes Dunhill.
The person who smokes Lucky Strike prefers beer.
Georgina smokes Embassy.
Nancy lives next to the house with a blue door.
The person who smokes Benson & Hedges has a neighbour who prefers vodka.

After there you lost me but whiskey vodka sounds good to me
I knew it. Your very smart with logic riddles. She has another new one on this post plus you didn't do the quickie. Pm her cause other people are still doing them. You go smartie!
I think your right up there with stilltruckin on this kind of stuff.Let me know your score on the quickie test.
I would think to be certain I had it right and re checking approx 2 hours ish x
I made a grid with the houses in the order I thought they should have been, deom the clues given. Tried to use all the info but failed to hlean the answer from it. Is it a trick question/solution perhaps ? Anyhow, I give up
For what it's worth, the way I started was by drawing 6 rows of 5 squares, one under another, leaving a generous space under each row, and assigning one of the 6 elements (Name, Drink, Pet ...) to each row.
Then I wrote what I knew for sure (because it was given) in the appropriate square: 'Nancy' in the first square of the Name row, and 'Wine' in the centre square of the Drink row.
And I used the space under the squares to make notes on what possibly could, or definitely couldn't, apply to that square as I managed to deduce it. A lot of crossing out was involved . . .
Spent ****** ages trying to get the answer to this logic problem - done grids - putting it down now (Corrie - bit rubbish storyline at present, at least there is Gogglebox later). Think you've foxed me hun. cx
I will PM anyone who wants to know the correct answer.
Came back to it and finally managed to fill in the grid. The blank space left in the pet column is under Georgina's name, so she must be the one who has the iguana.
Sorry have to come back to that one later Stilltrucking, but I love riddles. Used to be able to get them in quiz books. Let you know how long it takes me later.
Spent last evening with my graph paper thought I was doing well, but then noticed a mistake had another go and I believe its down to Georgina, I dare say if I had another go I just might come up with another lady. Keep smiling
There are 57 blue socks and 129 red socks all mixed up together in box. Without looking inside, what's the minimum number of socks you'd have to take from the box to be sure of having a pair of the same colour?
...me brain hurts don't wanna play no more !!! Come to think stilltrucking,, I've never been much good at that kind of mental exercise - it's a bit like asking 'how long's a piece of string?'
Thanks for your encouragement Ruby but I think my brain just burnt out - a tempory condition, I hope How about yourself? Did you manage to solve the clues?
