There are five houses painted in five different colours.
In each house lives a person of a different nationality.
These five home-owners drink a certain drink, supports a certain football team and keep a certain pet.
Yet no owners drink the same drink, support the same team or have the same kind of pet.
An Englishman lives in the red house.
A Swede keeps dogs as pets.
A Dane drinks tea.
The green house is to the left of the white house.
The green house owner drinks coffee.
The person who supports Chelsea rears birds.
The owner of the yellow house supports Crystal Palace.
The man living in the centre house drinks milk.
The Norwegian lives in the first house.
The man who supports Arsenal lives next to the man who keeps cats.
The man who keeps horses lives next to the one who supports Crystal Palace.
The owner who supports Liverpool drinks beer.
The German supports Bayern Munich.
The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
The man who supports Arsenal has a neighbour who drinks water.
About Me
- Cassini
- I have had a life-long interest in sports and after studying Pure Mathematics with Statistics at secondary school, have been fascinated by odds and probability. The first system I came up with was a simple one - back the favourite and double up after a loss until a winner. Simple enough in theory, and I told my Dad about it. Not being a betting man himself, he ran it by some of his colleagues, and came home to tell me that it wouldn’t work because a long losing run would mean that the bank would be empty. Then there was always the possibility that the winner would be returned at odds-on, meaning that the total returns would not match the outlay. Not what a ten year old wants to hear! Only slightly daunted, I then went on a search for the Holy Grail, the secret to riches that I knew was out there somewhere. Finally in 2004 I stumbled across an article about Betting Exchanges and four years later I was able to make a steady profit.
