Answer:
If we separate and label the clues, and label the houses #1, #2, #3, #4 from left to right we can see that:
- Mrs Jennifer’s house is somewhere to the left of the green marbles one.
- The third one along is white marbles.
- Mrs Sharon owns a red marbles house
- Mr Cruz does not live at either end.
- Mr Cruz lives somewhere to the right of the blue marbles house.
- Mr Danny lives in the fourth house
- The first house is not made from red marbles.
By (g) #1 isn’t made from red marbles and by (b) nor is #3. By (f) Mr. Danny lives in #4 therefore by (c) #2 must be red marbles, and Mrs. Sharon lives there.
Therefore by (d) Mr. Cruz must live in #3, which, by (b) is the white marbles house.
By (a) #4 must be green marbles (otherwise Mrs. Jennifer couldn’t be to its left) and by (f) Mr. Danny lives there.
Which leaves Mrs. Jennifer, living in #1, the blue marbles house.
Therefore the answer is as follows;
From, left to right:
#1 Mrs. Jennifer – blue marbles
#2 Mrs. Sharon – red marbles
#3 Mr. Cruz – white marbles
#4 Mr. Danny – green marbles
