    I haven't worked this out yet, from yesterdays Guardian:

    There are five houses with the outside walls painted in five different ways. David, Ed, Nick, Nicola and Nigel each live in one of the houses. They each drink a certain type of coffee, have a preferred mode of transport and keep a certain pet. No owners have the same pet, the same preferred mode of transport or drink the same type of coffee.

    Nicola lives in the tartan house.
    Ed has a guinea pig
    David drinks mochaccino
    The paisley house is on the left of the gingham house
    The owner of the paisley house drinks flat whites.
    The person who drives by car has a squirrel.
    The owner of the striped house travels by bike.
    The person living in the centre house drinks double espresso.
    Nick lives in the first house.
    The person who travels by train lives next to the one who has a pitbull.
    The person who has a badger lives next to the person who travels by bike.
    The person who travels by plane drinks chai latte.
    Nigel goes everywhere by foot.
    Nick lives next to the polka dot house.
    The person who travels by train has a neighbour who drinks decaf.

    WHO OWNS THE FISH?

    For the sake of clarity: the houses are adjacent to each other in a line and the directions are from the perspective of someone looking at the houses. And any resemblance of David, Ed, Nick, Nicola and Nigel to the party leaders is purely coincidental. You have to solve this problem by logic, not by having had a coffee with any of them.

    Nigel has the fish, took a while though like the logic questions in puzzler without being given a grid.

    Two amoebas are placed in water in a test tube. They reproduce by splitting themselves in two, a process that takes five minutes. After 4 hours they have filled the test tube. How long will it take a single amoeba in an indenticsl quantity of water in an identical test tube to do the same?

    200 bodies are discovered in a cabin in a forest. All died by the same cause. What was the cause of death?

    There's a graveyard located in the middle of a housing estate in East London but it is forbidden for the people living there to be buried in it. Why?

    Is it that you cant bury living people at The Den?

    A man gets a train from Euston. He has seven chocolate bars with him. His journey takes 1hour and 12minutes. When he arrives at his destination he still has seven chocolate bars. Where does he get off?

    No such thing as half a hole.
