Draw the stepped grids, label them with the six categories, mark the matches and exclusions (ensuring they're replicated across all relevant grids - e.g. The first clue tells you that the Englishman doesn't live in any other coloured house, and no other nationality lives in the red house), and start filling in the table for each house / colour / nationality / pet / drink / confectionary.

On paper, it can help to limit solving to one grid. I think it also helps to alphabetize the variables in each cell, black out false options as you identify them, and circle a cell’s correct answer so it stands out. The first thing you should do after finding any cell’s answer is make sure that option is blacked out in every other cell.

By using all the hints, you were able to logic who in which house is the thief that stole the fish.

This form of logic problem can be solved in one grid just by using the grid slightly differently. The grid design is the same you used with one axis providing a known (house numbers) and the other axis showing the other classes of variable. You should also next fill any grid cells you have answers for, like Norway in House 1. Here’s where it gets different: Next fill up the remaining grid cells with all of its remaining class options. For example, use BGIRY for colors in every Color cell. To solve, just delete or cross off the omitted options. The later logic jumps on the grids may be harder to see using just on grid, but I got the right answer. I think it’s much easier to keep track of all the info on one grid when solving on paper - and I tend to do these puzzles that way.

Start with Clues 10 & 15 Norwegian lives in home 1, which is next to the blue house. This means the blue house is home 2. By clue 6, this eliminates green and ivory as colors for home 1 (as home 2 is blue). By clue 2, this also eliminates red as the color for home 1 (as the resident of home 1 is not the Englishman). This means the Norwegian lives in the yellow house. By clue 8, the Norwegian eats Kit-Kats, and by clue 12, lives next to where the horse is kept. (this is just Part 1)

Please check! I used a slightly different approach to solve this problem. I think it is correct. I set up the matrix with the possibles. Very convenient that they all the start with a different letter! Statements 9, 10 & 15 give a direct answer. Statement 6 eliminates green as a colour for House 1. From there I went through all the remaining statements noting which Houses they would be valid for. Statement 4 was the most vulnerable as it was valid in only Houses 4&5. I then subtracted Houses 4&5 from all the other Statement's valids and found Statement 2 must be true in House 3 & Statement 5 must be true in House 2. Easy solve from there. I think this approach is logically correct but, again, please check. It does roughly parallel the sequence of what Presh was doing.

Then you could place "Spaniard owns the dog" without needing to know that the Spaniard or the dog are in house 4. I only used hypothesis once while solving it and that's cause I caught something that was either "horse is owned by the tea drinking Ukrainian" or "horse is owned by the orange juice drinking Japanese who likes both Snickers and Reese's" if I hadn't caught that I probably could have solved it without hypothesis. And I definitely wouldn't bed another board.

The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill. The man living in the center house drinks milk. The Norwegian lives in the first house. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats. The man who keeps the horse lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill. The man who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.

I actually got the answer right... Although taking 40 minutes doesn't feel like I can be proud of it much😅

I solved it using the grid method, and got the answer Norwegian drinks water and Japanese owns a zebra.

If this was on the LSAT, you're better off guessing the answer than taking the time to be Doctor Strange and jump.between multiverses

My first instinct is that everyone drinks water, and no one can own a zebra.

i used spreadsheet to solve this. same solution from start until the water part. then i assume norwegian will not be the answer for both water and zebra so i put fox. from that point, it is straight forward
