You made the assumption that the first house is furthest to de left. If you make the assumption that the first house is furthest to de right, then it’s the inhabitant of the house furthest to the left, who is ether German or Britt.
To Ziran:
You are absolutely correct I made an assumption at the beginning making the house on the left yellow with the Norwegian. It could have been The Green house with the German or Brit in the red house. I should not have included the fourth house in my answer Thank you for the clarification. I need to be more careful:-)

Thanks Nevermorestr, it was a bit of a challenge, and I too, had to make an assumption about half way through; no disrespect to Frozenoak, but it was a logical assumption. :) Before making the assumption, while lost in all the chicken scratches on my paper, I gave some thought to writing a quick program to cycle through all the possible permutations: doing that, I think, would have been cheating.

Also to Ziran: Wait a second. The solution I came up with is not symmetric with the middle house, because then you end up with the white house to the left of the green one, which fails point #7: “The green house is next to, and on the left of the white house.� Am I missing something?
edit:Ahh, I see, another solution exists besides the one I posted, because you can revolve it about the middle house, and then swap house #1 with house #2. --err, that would be swapping #4 and #5, if you're starting at the right and counting towards the left. Are there more solutions?

I'm glad some people are taking on the challenge and enjoying themselves. :) I may look around and see if I can find some other "puzzles".

I have a feeling there are no more solutions. It would be interesting though to come up with a program testing other permutations :). I have run into this type of problem before where our biases influence design decisions that don't fit in the real world
