Question

Susan is throwing a Halloween party at her house, but you've forgotten which house it is! You know that Laura does NOT live directly next to Susan. Kate and Eve are direct neighbors, and Laura lives further to the right of Eve. Which one is Susan's house?

Answer 1

Answer:

Susan's house is the farthest house to the right.

Explanation:

When we read the question above we can see the following information:

• Kate and Eva are neighbors, with houses side by side.
• Laura is an indirect neighbor to Susan, but their homes are not side by side.
• Laura is not Kate's neighbor, but lives more on her left.

With this information we can conclude that, if Laura is not Kate's neighbor, but lives on her left side, Laura must be Eva's neighbor, who has the house next to Laura's.

Eve is a neighbor of Kate, so the order of the houses would be:

Laura, Eve, Kate +?

The house that was missing was Susan's house, so Susan is the one who lives on the left.
