is the solution you cant solve it? Because there are only 4 drinks listed in the puzzle but their are 5 men. I looked over like 8 times but couldn't find a 5th drink , am I missing something or is it unsolvable?

Sorry unnkown95. The original question was: Who drinks water and who owns the zebra?
But, I want all of the answers. I have edited the original puzzle - thanks for catching it!

I put spaces so that everything was lined up correctly originally but the forum corrected it and only put 1 space in between each one.

I think you have it right, but can you the group the person, house, drink, pet and candy per house?

nice logic puzzle. I used a spreadsheet and was almost there. Using Excel 2007 on my new laptop is a real pain. But hat's off to unnkown.
edit: it's not 2010, it's 2007

That is correct. I will have more of these in the future, but next time format the answer like this:
Fred, Yellow, Water, Gummy Bears, Fox
Tom, Blue, Tea, Milky Way, Horse
Bob, Red, Milk, Snickers, Snails
Steve, Green, Coffee, Skittles, Zebra
George, Ivory, Orange Juice, M&M's, Dog
Keep everything that belongs together on one line rather than in columns.

Last one for the day:
For 2 Scooby Snacks:
In this problem, each letter uniquely represents one number. By analyzing the relationship amongst the digits, can you determine
the original subtraction problem?
ABA - CA = AB

I totally missed that last one but there is no way I would have solved it. My mind immediately retrieved the algebra files and started to work on it before I'd even finished scrolling down. I think I might have had a chance if you had said each letter represents a 'digit', not a number.
Nice work nod.

Sorry rikcando. I guess I need to be careful of my terminology!
