Is odd only leaves 25.
Person in flat 25 says that neighbor lies about everything.
So must be 1st floor, not square, contain 4, and is even;
Numbers 1-20 eliminate odd numbers
2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20
Eliminate squares:
2,6,8,10,12,14,20
Only 14 contains digit 4.
Flat # 14 correct

Very good and very quick - the correct answers
(one slight error - probably just a typo and it makes no difference really - you should have left '18' in the list after 'Eliminate squares').
Over to you
