If you are serious about writing a program to solve puzzles like this, 
you might take a look at
   Weston, Paul E.,  "To Uncover; To Deduce; To Conclude",
   Computer Studies in the Humanities and Verbal Behavior _3_ (2) 77-89
   (1970).
This article uses the 'Smith, Jones, Robinson' puzzle as its example, but
the original motivation for it was 'The Five Houses' (the puzzle in the
base note).
