+# Introduction
+
+The Zebra Puzzle is a famous logic puzzle in which there are five houses, each painted a different color.
+The houses have different inhabitants, who have different nationalities, own different pets, drink different beverages and enjoy different hobbies.
+
+To help you solve the puzzle, you're given 15 statements describing the solution.
+However, only by combining the information in _all_ statements will you be able to find the solution to the puzzle.
+
+~~~~exercism/note
+The Zebra Puzzle is a [Constraint satisfaction problem (CSP)][constraint-satisfaction-problem].
+In such a problem, you have a set of possible values and a set of constraints that limit which values are valid.
+Another well-known CSP is Sudoku.
