Having arrested John Jacobson, the man who kidnapped Bill Richman, a party was held in Detective Donald’s honour. However, to test Donald’s smarts, Bill Richman sent Donald this paper:
Dear Donald,
To get to the party, drive to Green Road, where there will be a row of eleven houses that look exactly the same. One of them is my house. Which one do you ask? Well, you’ll have to find out with these clues:
My house is not the one on the left.
I have exactly two neighbours.
Do not enter the third one, because it’s not my house.
Don’t enter the ninth one either.
Lose the thought of entering the three houses on the very right.
Erase the thought of entering the houses on the left, too.
Okay, enough hints. Which house do I live in? If you think there’s not enough clues, think again!
Donald read it over a couple of times, and drove to the house where the party was being held.
Which house in the row did Bill live in?
Solution
Bill lives in the house in the middle. Read the note again, but this time, look at the first letter of each line. The capitalized letters in the clues spell out “MIDDLE.”
