2. Family Mix-up

Mr.Green and Mr.Brown are a policeman and a druggist, but I can't remember which is which. One of them, I know has three children, and I remember that the other one has two, a boy and a girl.

After a traffic accident, Joe was asked in court whether the traffice light was red or green. Telling me about it afterwards, Mary said, "Joe said it was red."

Was the light red or green?

4. A Dog's Tale

Louis and his two sisters, Alice and Karen, each own a dog. One owns a beagle, one a collie, and one a terrier. The beagle's name is Kerrie, the terrier's name is Amber, and the collie's name is Lassie (of course!). Here are some clues for you. See if you can figure out who owns each dog:

No dog's name begins with the same letter as the owner's name.

The beagle's mistress likes Lassie, the collie, but Lassie is not her dog.

Okay now - who owns each dog?
