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?

    Yes, try this one

    Man A + Women 1 + 2 cats
    Man B + Women 3 + 1 dog
    Man C + Women 2 + 2 dogs + 1 cat.

    You are forgetting that Man B hates cats and Women 3 likes cats married to a man that hates cats so she has only 1 dog cause man C has two dogs.
    Women 2 cooks birds that man C hunts and who has 2 dogs, but the women still loves her cat. 2 dogs, 1 cat
    That leaves 2 cats and since Woman 1 has to be married to man A by process of elimination and there are 2 cats left, so they have to have both of them cause no one else can have any more cats.....I hope
