Answer 2

HOLD ON JUST A SECOND YOU WISE GUY!! you didnt itemize anything about water or zebras! FURTHERMORE you did NOT mention anything about the little girl in the pink skirt and white stockings with the yo-yo rocking-the-cradle, nor of the man with the cap, tying his shoelaces getting ready to sprint, NOR of the lady with the umbrella, whistling on a windy, but sunny, warm-weathered day, to the lyrics of Just Stand Up! how is anybody supposed to know that it's the japanese who owns the zebra, unless you meant the company for writing instruments? and why is it that only the norwegian gets to drink the water? surely there must be water present in each of the colorful houses youve listed, particularly the green house where coffee is drunk. AND you did not clearly state if it was a "greenhouse" or a "green" house ;) LOGIC... dont you love logic? personally, i thought it was the englishman who owns the four-legged zebra! IN ADDITION, you are making a huge assumption that each person mentioned lives in a monocolored house, drinks one beverage and one beverage only, has only one type of vehicle for transportation, and has one pet each, from a list of variables that you included from which there are no if-ands-or-buts. THATS NOT LOGICAL! =P
