Einsteins riddle.....

They way I did it was to make a table, 5 columns for the houses, 1-5. Then a 5 rows for each characteristic of the house.
Then you have to populate the table using the clues. Some clues will tell you where something is in relation to something else in the table, but not necessarily exactly where.
Some clues will tell you exactly where it will go in the table as it won't fit anywhere else. Gradually as you work through them (not necessarily in order) you will be able to definitively say where more and more bit's go.
Not sure if that makes sense as I'm a bit tired. To get you started though look at no. 8. You can definitively say that the person in house 3 (the middle house) drinks milk.
Clue 9 definitively tells you that there's a Norwegian in the first house, so you can fill that spot.
Keep going through the clues, most aren't obvious like that. You can make groups relating to the clues. e.g. 3. tells you that the danish man drinks tea, so danish, and tea will be in the same house column, but we know it can't be column (house) 1 or 3 as theres a norwegian in 1 and a milk drinker in 3, so it must be in one of the others, which one exactly we're still not sure though - time to look at some more clues...
See how much further you can get....

Did you know that your sentence should have a question mark at the end? No sense in typing a question without one.
