Men, Women and Pets (Posted on 2003-02-21) Difficulty: 3 of 5
There are 3 women (1,2,3), 3 men (A,B,C), 3 dogs and 3 cats
  • Man A is allergic to dogs but does not like cats. His wife loves cats.
  • Woman 3 loves all animals but can only have one kind because her husband hates the other.
  • Man C hunts quail using 2 dogs.
  • Woman 1 is married to a man who does not like her pet.
  • Man B hates cats.
  • Woman 2 always cooks birds for dinner, but still has time to love her cat.

    Can you figure out who is married to who, and how many animals of each kind that person has?

    i agree with you that woman 3 cannot have 2 pets, but at the same time, it is given in the problem that: Woman 3 loves all animals but can only have one kind because her husband hates the other, and in the first statement it is given that he is allergic to dogs but does not like cats........which accordingly should be of the other kind thus letting the woman 3 have a dog as her pet instead of a cat...........and so accordingly will be the other ones......
