Who Lives in the white house?

Very cool puzzle from a very cool blog.

Who Lives in the white house?
There are five houses of different colors next to each other equally spaced on the same road. In each house lives a person of a different profession.
  • The blue house is adjacent to the mathematician’s and con-man’s houses.
  • The first house on the left is green.
  • The nurse lives immediately to the right of the mathematician.
  • The teacher lives halfway between the plumber’s house and the yellow house.
  • The nurse’s house is immediately to the right of the red house.

    also: check out Tanya's "second-favorite" puzzle, which is mind-melting for any practically-minded (i.e., not "pure math") type :-D

    1. Ah... not tripped up by "halfway between" not implying adjacency!
