(Note
- Since House 2 we already know is blue, and the green and white house
are next to each other, they must be 3 and 4 OR 4 and 5. However the
owner of House 3 drinks milk. So 4 must be the Green House and 5 must
be the White House)

(OK -
here is where we get all the drinks sorted out. The Dane could be 2
or 5. The person who smokes Blue Master could also be 2 or 5. However
the Dane can't be 5, otherwise House 2 would be the Blue Master smoker
and beer drinker, which would only leave House 1 for the water drinking
neighbour; this doesn't work, since this would now make House 2 the
Blend smoker. So the Dane is in House 2, etc)
