An ice cream truck drives down Prince Albert Road every day. Yesterday, 5 children, one from each of the first 5 houses on the street, ordered a different ice cream flavour and a different topping. Can you figure out which child lives in which house and which ice cream flavour and topping each bought?
*REMEMBER: The odd numbered houses are on one side of the street and even numbers are on the other!*
1.Benjamin lives between the child who chose the Cherry topping and the child who chose strawberry ice cream.

3.The grapenut ice cream had no topping.
4.The child who lives in house number 2 had the vanilla ice cream. The child in house number 3 did not have moon mist ice cream.
5.Steven had chocolate ice cream. He hates chocolate sprinkles.
6.The child who had the chopped nuts topping lives in house number 5. Tom does not live in house number 4.

I REALLY loved this teaser! It was entertaining, and a bit tricky to solve... congrats on a great teaser
i agree with the person above me!!
oh wow! This one stumped me! And I'm usually pretty good at these. It was fun to TRY to figure out but I had to look at the answer! Congrats on making a great teaser!
I have started over so many times that had it not been on an amazing computer, it would have been worn out! Sadly, Benjamin is still homeless, but I have enjoyed searching for him a house!
omg i had to finally give up! great teaser! you had me stumped! (not that that's hard lol)
I must be getting better at these as I see some gave up, but I didn't. Nice job.
WOW!!! That was pretty challenging and I got it!!! GREAT!!! I LOVED THIS ONE!!!
I don't have a clue. Too many holes in my grid.
Oh! Finally got it! Is this how an embarrassed genius feels?
Excellent teaser!
This one was very tricky and a whole bunch of fun!
Awesome teaser! Tricky but solvable. I had to start this one twice also. Good job!!
loads of fun. Thanks!
A very good teaser, and one that is more easily solved without using a grid.
fun! i didn't get it all though my first try. so i just guessed, got most of it right.
Wow! I started it twice and still got them all mixed up. The only one I had right was Benjamin! I must be losing my touch. But it was still fun. Very challenging.
shoot this one was harder to check to see if solved correctly than it was to solve.
I just got it, but I think I messed it up somehow. I don't like how the grid is laid out AT ALL... it's terribly confusing. Otherwise, great teaser! We all scream for ice cream, do we not?
I have Steven and Benjamin correct but I have different answers for Tom, Karen, and Elaine. Still fits the clues, though, I think. Could there be more than one correct answer?
Tom #5 strawberry chopped nuts
Karen #2 vanilla sprinkles
Elaine #4 moon mist choc sprinkles
Tom #5 strawberry chopped nuts
Karen #2 vanilla sprinkles
Elaine #4 moon mist choc sprinkles
Mamachew, you have Karen and Elaine at houses 2 and 4, so they live next door to each other (even houses on the same side of the street, odd houses on the other). That contradicts the clues. The intro points out about the house numbers being even on one side and odd on the other; this info is necessary to solve the puzzle.
Chaskey, if you have Benjamin homeless you probably also missed the note in the intro about even houses on one side of the street and odd on the other. That means one side of the street has houses 1,3,5 and the other has 2,4. The clue says that Benjamin lives between two other people, so he can only be in #3.
