+617 Who stole the fish?
The world's rarest fish has been stolen from the Baltimore aqaurium. The police's search led them to a street with 5 identical looking houses. You, as the city's best detective, are assigned to figuring out which house contains the thief. However, you will only be able to search a single house before the crook realizes that the police are on him, and he will run away. The police tell you five pieces of information about the street.
1. Everyone is from a different nationality
2. Everyone drives a different brand of car
3. Everyone drinks a different type of beverage
4. the hosues interior colors are unique
5. Everyone owns an animal and one of them is the stolen
The police then tell you everything they know that can help you with the case
a) who stole the fish?
b) list each person what type of car they drive, what beverage they drink, what color their hosue is, and what pet they have, Also, tell the color of the houses from left to right
Please explain this to me
thanks
+118667 Come on Jenny.
This is a challenge question that your teacher has given the class.
Maybe there is some prize, or at least prestige, for getting it nutted out.
Do you really think it is right for you to get other people to do it and present it as your own?
+118667 Here is a good hint, and I do not think you should be given more.
It is this type of puzzle:
This is not yours, I just found a similar puzzle pic on line. But I would tackle the problem with a grid like this one.
I have not done it, I am just assuming that this would be the right approach.
You put a cross in all the ones that do not work and a tick in the ones that do work until you have averything filled in.
You start by putting a tick in the red house box, which means that you can cross all the other colour houses. etc.
Your teacher probably already told you this much anyway.
Good luck.
+118667 I see you have so far never responded to any of your answerers. This is definitely not a good look!
+118667 Well then it would have been nice if you had responded with.
"Thanks, I will give that a go."
+617 I do not speak the same exact words as you and I speak what I want at the appropriate time.
+118667 xxJenny,
I have helped you with your question in more than a totally trivial way and you have implied that you used my help to get an answer for yourself. (maybe that is not what you meant to imply)
You have not thanked me or asked me for any clarification, you have only lodged a formal complaint because I have not given you the exact answer to your question.
You have been registered for all of three days and already you think you have the right to DEMAND to be treated like royalty.
None of us here are your private subjects who are obliged to do you homework for you! If you get free help then be grateful!
