Five houses stand in a row numbered 1 to 5 from left to right. House 1 is painted White, and House 5 is painted Blue. The Yellow house is directly adjacent to the White house. The Red house is located immediately to the right of the Green house. What color is House 3?
Green
House 1 is White and House 5 is Blue. Since Yellow is adjacent to White, House 2 must be Yellow. The remaining houses are 3 and 4, which must be Green and Red respectively because Red is immediately to the right of Green. Thus, House 3 is Green.
