Wow, I haven't seen this one since high school. My mom had a paper copy of this she got when SHE was in college. This is an updated version, the original used brands of cigarettes. I used to entertain myself with it when I was home sick from school. That was long before spreadsheets. I'll have to see if I can do it again. No fair using spreadsheets, draw your own table on piece of paper, pencil and eraser.:laugh:

Pall Mall, Dunhill, Blend, Bluemaster and Prince are ciggies and/or tobacco brands. This is the original version.

OK the whole thing together:

Here's another one:

In a street there are five houses, painted five different colors.
- In each house lives a person of different nationality.
- These five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, smoke different brand of cigar and keep a different pet.

A box without hinges, key, or lid,
Yet golden treasure inside is hid.


What is it?

OH...An egg.

OK the whole thing together:

Original version, Maybe so, when I worked my mom's version it was Winston, Salem, Pall Malls, Camels and something else. Cigars smell better at least, which is what I figured Dunhills and BlueMasters are. I'll work on it anyway.

Yeah, I did this one on paper a while ago. It was different animals, but it still is the same concept. I'd like to have the time, but I'm packing!
