DAY 156
Ann, Betty, and Claudia live in adjoining apartments. They work as a chemist, a doctor, and a lawyer, though not necessarily in that order. Find each woman's occupation from the following clues:

Betty lives in the middle apartment.
When Claudia goes on vacation, the lawyer feeds her cat.
The chemist taps on Ann's wall when her stereo is too loud.

Answer:

Betty is the chemist, Ann is the lawyer, and Claudia is the doctor. Only Betty, in the middle apartment, could tap on Ann's wall. (It is impossible to determine who lives to the right or left of Betty.)
