I have been working on this most of the day and I still can't this completed.

6 people live on 6 different streets: Keel Street, Keer Street, Sire Street, Sile Street, Doley Street, and Dorey Street.

Use the clues below to solve the puzzle.


  1. Laura Lole does not live on Keel Street or Dorey Street.

  1. Brian Barr and Sherry Lock do not live on Sile Street.

  1. Brian Ball does not live on Keer or Sile Street.

  1. Laura Lore does not live on Dorey or Sire Street.

  1. Sherry Lock does not live on Keel Street or Dorey Street.

  1. Laura Lore and Brian Ball do not live on Keel Street.

This what I have so far:

Keer StreetX
Sire StreetX
Sile StreetXXXX
Doley Street
Dorey StreetXXX

You're showing one X too many: Laura Lore / Sile Street.
That makes the puzzle harder still!

I presume the problem is to find which street they each live on.

Each live on a separate street? Probably...but not stated.

Whoever made that up should be shot at sunrise for making
up these silly/confusing names.

It does:

6 people live on 6 different streets
 
I found a couple different solutions, based on your table; so it seems that this problem is not fully specified. Did you quote the entire problem exactly as given to you?

Is it indicated that there should be only one solution, or is it meant to be "easy" in the sense that you can just find a possibility, and accept that without being sure it is correct?

Need to clean my glasses!

One of the solutions:
n n y n n n
n n n y n n
n n n n y n
n y n n n n
y n n n n n
n n n n n y

There are others as DrP says...
