My first mistake was paper and pen. Switched to pencil and had it shortly thereafter.
I'm thinking the 2% reflects the number of people properly equipped with a chalkboard. |

I used to do these type of logic puzzles all the time online, there are websites you can find that have all types of these.
You use a grid pattern for the number of choices x the number of options. In this case there are 5 choices for each and 6 variables; therefore a 5 x 6 grid that you begin to fill in based on absolute info and then also info that is a known negative. A logic process of elimination. Variables: 1. Color of House 2. Location of House 3. Type of Pet 4. Drink of Choice 5. Ethnic Origin 6. Cigarette of Choice I've solved this before in a challenge.

Not without cheating. It is pure logic. But, it does take a little while to work through the logic.

Here are two sites that have a variety of logic puzzles if this has piqued your interest or stimulated your brain.

I got stuck where I had the blue and white house as either tea or beer. So just marked them both as tea/beer. If you get past that hurdle it all falls into place. (the answer is the green house)
