This logic puzzle is a variant of the famous "Einstein's Riddle" or "Zebra Puzzle." To solve it, you will need to use the clues to deduce the information for each cabin. I will go step by step to help you figure out this riddle.
1. The Englishman's cabin is red => Englishman = Red Cabin
2. The Swede shoots teal => Swede = Teal
3. The Dane drinks chocolate milk
4. The green cabin is on the left of the white cabin (So the green/white cabins are together in order and the green one is not in the last position)
5. The green cabin drinks coffee
6. The person who shoots Canvasback uses Peters shells => American = Canvasback = Peters shells (from clue 15)
7. The yellow cabin shoots with Remington shells => Yellow = Remington shells
8. Milk is drunk in the middle cabin => Middle cabin = Milk
9. The Norwegian lives in the first cabin => Norwegian = 1st cabin
10. The hunter in the blue cabin drinks tea
11. The hunter who uses Federal shells lives next to the one who shoots the Canvasback ducks
12. The hunter who shoots the Canvasback ducks lives next to the hunter who shoots the Redhead ducks
13. The hunter who shoots with Western shells drinks 7-Up
14. The Irishman loads up with Peters shells => Irishman = Peters shells (so Irishman is not American)
15. The American shoots Canvasback ducks => American = Canvasback = Peters shells
16. The hunter who shoots with Peters shells is in the green cabin => Green = Peters shells = American = Canvasback
Here is how you start assembling the information:
Since the Norwegian is in the first cabin, and the green cabin is the immediate left to the white one, the first cabin cannot be green or white. We also know that the middle cabin drinks milk, and the red cabin is Englishman's. Therefore, cabins cannot be green, white, or red in the first position. Since the yellow cabin uses Remington shells and the Irishman uses Peters shells, the Norwegian doesn't use either of these shells. Considering the Norwegian is not the Englishman, the Swede, or the Dane (they drink chocolate milk), the Norwegian must be drinking Orange Crush.
So the current setup we can assume is:
1. Norwegian - Yellow - Orange Crush - ? - ?
2. Green - American - Coffee - Peters - Canvasback
3. White - ? - Milk - ? - ?
We need to place the Englishman in the red cabin and the Swede who shoots teal. Since the middle one is already taken by milk and cannot be red, the red cabin has to be in the fourth position and green must align with the American who uses Peters shells.
So the fourth position is English, Red, which leaves Dane for the third position that drinks Milk.
Since Dane drinks chocolate milk, we have third cabin: Dane - White - Chocolate milk.
Swede shoots Teal, so he must be in the remaining fifth cabin.
The hunter in the blue cabin drinks tea, which leaves the blue one for the second cabin.
The blue cabin is next to the yellow cabin (Norwegian), which means it's not the Irishman (he is not next to Norwegian).
So now we have:
1. Norwegian - Yellow - Orange Crush - ? - ?
2. ? - Blue - Tea - ? - ?
3. Dane - White - Chocolate milk - ? - ?
4. Englishman - Red - ? - ? - ?
5. Swede - ? - ? - ? - Teal
Swede cannot shoot with Peters (American has it), cannot have Remington (yellow cabin has it), and must be in a cabin next to that of the hunter that shoots the Canvasback, i.e., the green cabin. Therefore, Swede must be using Federal shells
