The Einstein Problem-Lite
The Einstein's Puzzle is a well-known logic puzzle. It is often called Einstein's Puzzle because it is said to have been invented by Albert Einstein as a boy. However, there is no known evidence for Einstein's or Carroll's authorship. This puzzle can be modified with various conditions to produce a variety of similar puzzles. For starters, we will solve a simplified version of the puzzle.
There are 5 houses on street which are painted 5 different colors:
blue
,
green
,
red
,
white
and
yellow
.
In each house lives a person of a different nationality:
Brit
,
Dane
,
German
,
Norwegian
and
Swede
.
These people drink a certain beverage:
beer
,
coffee
,
milk
,
tea
and
water
.
Smoke a certain brand of cigarettes:
Rothmans
,
Dunhill
,
PallMall
,
Winfield
and
Marlboro
.
They keep a certain pet:
cat
,
bird
,
dog
,
fish
and
horse
.
None of the owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigarette, or drink the same beverage.
You are given a set of "relations". Each relation connects two identifiers in the owner relationships. For example: "Norwegian-Dunhill"...
