The Dane drinks tea.
The green house is just to the left of the white one.
The owner of the green house drinks coffee.
The Pall Mall smoker keeps birds.
The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhills.
The man in the center house drinks milk.
The Norwegian lives in the first house.
The Blend smoker has a neighbor who keeps cats.
The man who smokes Blue Masters drinks bier.

What do we win if we are in the 2%? A one-way ticket to the colonies in so-called Israel?

Isn't this just a logic puzzle based on nationality, house color, smokes, pet type and drink preference?

Usually not too difficult to determine if you set up the solving grid.

Which I am not in the mood to do...

Cheerleading Mao, why is your location "frenCh belgiuM"? Are you supporting the annexion of the French-speaking part of Belgium by France? You should. About about Quebec province, New Orleans and Southern Yunnan? As for Einstein, if you re-read your history books, you would know he was considered a retard loser, just like wsl, but ended up a leading scientist, while making pocket money working with CIA, a youth idol along with Che Guevara, and almost became president of the so-called state (lower-case s) of Israel. So you better be nice with the weasel.

einstein was never, and i mean never considered retarded.

in fact, the reporting of his early schools years is VASTLY over exaggerated by the media and in many books. it is now known he was a fine student in his early grades. he just didn't really fit that well into the school system at that time.

in fact, for most of his schooling he was an advanced student

You elegantly ducked my question. Anyway do you think wsl fits in today's school system? Same. A progressist like you should try to see the potential in wsl. I see it.

Yes, learned algebra quite well, but I am with GC--I don't give a @#$%!

These questions/games rank up there with the annoying forwarded e mails people send---"send to 10 friends to keep the chain unbroken..."
