Solve the puzzle

[AVB]

Don't know what the prize is but I'll think of something.

Show / explain how you got the answer.

There are 5 houses in 5 different colors. In each house lives a man with a different nationality. The 5 owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same beverage.

The question is: "Who owns the fish?"

Hints:

* The Brit lives in the red house.
* The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
* The Dane drinks tea.
* The green house is on the left of the white house.
* The green house's owner drinks coffee.
* The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
* The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
* The man living in the center house drinks milk.
* The Norwegian lives in the first house.
* The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
* The man who keeps the horse lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
* The owner who smokes Bluemasters drinks beer.
* The German smokes Prince.
* The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
* The man who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water.

Good Luck!

A customer at a 7-11 store selected four items to buy, and was told that the cost was $7.11. He was curious that the cost was the same as the store name, so he enquired as to how the figure was derived. The clerk said that he had simply multiplied the prices of the four individual items. The customer protested that the four prices should have been ADDED, not MULTIPLIED. The clerk said that that was OK with him, but, the result was still the same: exactly $7.11. What were the four prices?

 

[cletus]

Read each line aloud without making any mistakes. If you make a mistake you MUST start again without going any further.

Here's the Grid I used (for anyone who cares or wants to work it out themselves):



Took about 10 minutes or so.....

I think I've asked this before, but why not:



1,11,21,1211,111221, ?
What is the next sequence number and why?





AEFHIKLMNTVWXY
----------------
BCDGJOPQRSU

Does "Z" belong above or below the line and why?




Everyday, a man leaves his tenth floor apartment, takes the elevator to the basement garage and goes to work. When he returns he rides the elevator to the sixth floor and takes the stairs to his tenth floor apartment. He does not do this for health benefits and does not follow any other routine. Why is this?
