If you have got the answer then try and check it against my answer. If you have a different answer that still fits the description that would be quite interesting (I am not totally certain that the solution I came up with is the only possible).

Yo, bro. I think that the puzzle is impossible to solve, if you don't substitute
"The green house is left of the white one"
with:
"The green house is next to and left of the white one"
(so that it cannot be understood as the green house being left of, in any distance from the white one)
At least I was completely stuck, until I realized that if I tried interpreting the text as above.
With this interpretation, I was able to deduce the solution forth (hence it should be unique).
Maybe you are right ... I don't know, that wasn't how it was written in the Danish text that I translated this from, but then again I think I just assumed it was the case that it was next to the white one when I made my solution.
Is there another possible solution if you choose to interpret it so that the houses could be further apart?
