Cock A Doodle Do

The listed coords are not the coordinates of the cache. To find that you must solve the mystery as outlined below.

In a street there are five houses, painted five different colours.

In each house lives a person of a different nationality.

These five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, eat different foot and keep a different pet.

Now your question is: Who owns the rooster?

Once you find who own the rooster you can set about finding the coordinates for the cache.

Necessary Clues:

1. A Brit lives in a red house

2. A Swed keeps dogs as pets

3. The Dane drinks tea.

4. The green house is next to, and on the left of the white house.

5. The owner of the green house drinks coffee.

6. The person who eates pale mangoes rears birds.

7. The owner of the yellow house eats drumsticks.

8. The person living in the centre house drinks milk.

9. A Norwegian lives in the first house.

10. The person who eats bananas lives next door to the one who keeps cats.

11. The person who keeps horses lives next to the person who eats drumsticks.

12. The person who eats bruised mulberries drinks beer.

13. The German eats prunes.

14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.

15. The banana eater lives next to the one who drinks water.

The following table should assist:

  1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th
Nation          
Colour          
Drink     milk    
Food          
Pet          

Now that you have the answer you can set about finding the coordinates based on the nation, colour of house, drink and food of the person who owns the rooster..

This uses a standard format of a=1 b=2 c=3 etc.

1st = the first letter of the word, 2nd = second letter of the word etc.

South:

Nation 1st + Nation 2nd + Nation 6th + Nation 5th =

Colour 5th + Colour 3rd + Colour 4th =

Drink 2nd - Drink 3rd =

Food 6th - Food 4th - Drink 1st =

Drink 5th + Drink 1st =

East:

Nation 5th =

Colour 3rd =

Food 1st - Food 4th =

Food 5th =

Food 1st - Colour 1st =

Drink 1st - Nation 5th =

Food 6th - Drink 2nd =

Colour 3rd - Nation 5th =

Congratulations you solved this little puzzle.

I hope you've had fun....now go get the cache!
