Okay, so the first couple weeks of school have been going well, but for some reason I decided to take Algebra my senior year at college! Why? Don't know. Anyway, the first day of class, the teacher gave us a little activity which at first I thought was stupid but once I tried it I couldn't stop until I had figured it out. So, I am giving it to anyone here who is willing to use their brain for a couple hours. Really, it took me about an hour. This isn't really a math problem, but more of seeing how well you organize information.
There are five houses on one side of Birch Street, each a different color. The homeowners each drive a different kind of car, and each has a different kind of pet. The owners all read different newspapers, and each grows a different plant in the garden.
- The family with the station wagon lives in the read house.
- The owner of the SUV has a dog.
- The family with the van reads the Gazette.
- The green house is immediately to the left of the white house.
- The Chronicle is delivered to the green house.
- The man who plants zucchini keeps birds.
- The owners of the yellow house grow corn.
- In the middle house they read the Times.
- The compact car parks at the first house.
- The family that grows eggplant lives in the house next to the family with cats.
- The people who lives in the house next to the house with a horse grow corn.
- The woman who grows beets receives the Daily News.
- The owner of the sports car grows okra.
- The family with the compact car lives next to the blue house.
- They read the Bulletin in the house next to the house where they grow eggplant.
