The option between blacks, cermaks, dvoraks, and horricks. Who is like the pink color is mathew, and he brought book the mulatka. If we choose horrick, it's impossible because, horricks already have stan for the husband. If we choose dvoraks, it's impossible because dvoraks like blue, and we need a pink. If we choose cermaks, it's impossible because cermaks brought book the shed. So the right answer is blacks family.

You read 23 damn lines just to find out that the whole thing is confusing and so you turn up reading the whole thing again to reach to the conclusion. Boring ,I'd say -_- No offence though. :p

@Llewellyn Sterling Is this puzzle based off of Einstein's puzzle, or the zebra puzzle, by any chance?
