A few years ago I was a delegate and there was an exercise we did which I'm trying to remember the name of.
I think it involved a variety of people living in different houses, with different pets and diferent jobs.
The aim was to find out who lived next door to each other. I know a descriptions go it's not the best (even slightly bizzare) but does anybody remember what it was called?

Similar exercise
I’ve seen a similar exercise around a company with 5 different buildings, staff who each did different jobs, had different cars and had different lunches. The object is to find out who went to the pub for lunch.
It’s called Workstations and made by a company called RSVP design (www.rsvpdesign.co.uk)

Know it but can’t remember!
Hi,
We used to run this exercise in my previous organisation but can’t remember for the life of me what it was called. Have made some enquiries and will let you know what I can find out.
Success!
Found it!
It’s called Einstein’s quiz.

Hope this is the right one.
Logic problems
Hi, you should be able to buy logic puzzle books from any newsagents which will have endless examples of this type of quiz will probably cost about £2. Not sure about copyright though. Hope it helps. Liz

Thanks,

Who Owns the Zebra

I have come across the exercise you are talking about called ‘Who Owns the Zebra’. There is also another one called ‘Six Aeroplane Passengers’ which is the same exercise in a different context. Email me if you would like a copy of ‘Who Owns the Zebra’.
