Here's a puzzle for you, see what you guys come up with.

• There are 5 houses, each of a different color, and inhabited by men of different nationalities, with different pets, drinks, and cigarettes.
• the Englishman lives in the red house.
• the Spaniard man owns the dog
• coffee is drunk in the green house.
• the ukranian drinks tea.
• the green house is immediately to the right (your right) of the ivory house.
• the old gold smoker owns snails.
• kools are smoked in the yellow house.
• milk is drunk in the middle house.
• the Norwegian lives in the first house on the left.
• the man who smokes chesterfields lives in the house next to the man with the fox.
• kools are smoked in the house next to the house where the horse is kept.
• the lucky strike smoker drinks orange juice.
• the Japanese smokes parliaments
• the Norwegian lives next to the blue house.

Now, who drinks water? And who owns the zebra?

The farmers eggs

A farmer is driving some eggs to the market. There is an accident and all of the eggs are broken. For insurance purposes, he needs to tell the insurance agent how many eggs were in the car. He cannot remember the exact number but he knows that when he arranged them in groups of 2, there was one left. When he arranged them is groups of 3 there was one left. When he arranged them in groups of 4 or 5 or 6, there was also one left. But when he arranged them in groups of 7, there were none left out.

What is the least amount of eggs he/she could have had?

I agree with XPatriot I can prove it because I have my matrices all set up and everything works out All the clues fit, and there is no overlapping or contradictions anywhere in my matrics Sure did love doing these type of things as a kid
