pilot lives in the red house
the red is immediate left of the white
So :- the first isnt the red
-the center isnt the red
-the second is the yellow
Irishman lives in the green so the first is the blue and the center is the green
Australian lives in the blue, he has a cat
Irishman is lawyer
The person who go sailing lives next to the one with a cat so he lives in the yellow
The Briton has a hamster so he doesnt live in the blue( he doesnt have a cat), the yellow or the green.He may only live in the red or the white
American play chess so he cant live in the blue( Australia lives in the blue) , the yellow( he doesnt go sailing) and the green( he isnt Irishman).He may only live in the red or the white, too
If American live in the red , th Briton will live in the white and the Canadian lives in the yellow.The Canadian has a horse because :- the Briton has hamster,Australian has a cat, American play chess so he doesnt play football.It means he doesnt have goldfish( The person with goldfish plays fooball).If American has a horse , he has no neighbour is plumber.
