Problem Analysis

We are given a three-story house in which three kittens live: a white, a black, and a ginger one. The kittens on the first and third floors are not black, and the white kitten does not live on the first floor. We need to determine on which floor the ginger kitten lives.

Solution

Let's analyze the given information step by step to find the floor on which the ginger kitten lives.

1. The kittens on the first and third floors are not black. 2. The white kitten does not live on the first floor.

From the first statement, we can conclude that the black kitten does not live on the first or third floor. Therefore, the black kitten must live on the second floor.

From the second statement, we know that the white kitten does not live on the first floor. Since the black kitten lives on the second floor, the white kitten must live on the third floor.

Therefore, the ginger kitten must live on the first floor.

Answer: The ginger kitten lives on the first floor.
