			<p>1) First, we place all definite information in the table, Three persons live below the person whose age is 64 years.</p>

			<p>2) The age of the person who lives on floor number 3 is a square of multiple of four. (This means that 16 years is the age of that person)</p>

			<p>6) The person whose age is square of 6 lives on a floor above the oldest person but not immediately above.</p>

			<p>(From statements 5 and 6, we can deduce that the age of the person living on floor number 5 is 71 years and the age of the person living on the top floor is 36 years.)</p>

			<p>7) The person whose age is 26 years live on floor number 6.</p>
