Let's continue working on colors. The first house can be either
green, red, white or yellow (blue is
already assigned to the second house).
The first house can't be green, since:
| 4. |
|
The
green
house is on the
left
of the
white
house (next to it).
|
and we know already that the first house is left of the blue
one, not white.
The first house can't be red either, since:
| 1. |
|
The
Brit
lives in a
red
house.
|
and we know already that Norwegian lives in the first house, not Brit.
The first house can't be white as well, since:
| 4. |
|
The
green
house is on the
left
of the
white
house (next to it).
|
but there are no houses at all on the left of the first house.
Hence the only color left for the first house is yellow.
Once the color of the first house is determined, it is possible to fill the
cigar cell for that house.
| 7. |
|
The owner of the
yellow
house smokes
Dunhill.
|
From the above we can determine in which house horses are kept.
We know that:
| 11. |
|
The man who keeps
horses
lives
next
to the man who smokes
Dunhill.
|
Hence, horses can be kept only in the second house, since it's the
only one, which is next to the house of the Dunhill smoker.

As a possible next step can you figure out what are the colors of the third,
fourth and fifth houses?
