Yeah, but logic is only one way in which you can be clever. I like to think I more than make up for it in other ways. :)... To cut a long story short, I got the wrong answer :;):

A big thank you goes out to Steve Hill & Jintzey for letting me know that had the correct answer but, in good faith (& honesty) I can't take the credit for that it would have taken me more time than that for sure; my brother's girlfriend got it & in an astounding less than 2 minutes none the less. :Oo: That was crazy how fast she came up with the correct answer so, acording to Einstien I guess she's a genius? ??? And a speciel thanks to Jintzey for giving our brains a workout ("I got a freakin headache trying to figure this one out!") glare

Well, I recon I could have done it in 5-10 minutes if I had first of all been thinking logically than in a blind panic hoping nobody else beat me to it, (competitiveness, curse you), and secondly not spent 15 minutes convinced the guy in the middle house, who it says drinks milk in the question, actually drank coffee.

I know these are merely excuses, but I used to be good at this kind of puzzle. Like mathematics questions along these lines too, but then differentiation and complex numbers are more fun when you get to my age. :Oo:

Well, it doesn't matter too much if you peek at the answer. What matters is if you are able to solve it properly with only the original clues. Peeking at the answer just lets you know if you're on the right track or not. :)
