Jack and Siman are not neighbours, So right end Siman and left end jack.
At least, one person left of larry means is one or more than one therefore after Jack Harry Larry.
3. Mike is in between larry and paul, therefore, Jack, Harry Larry mike paul and this answer also satisfy the condition of Paul occupying one of the middle houses.
4. Considering Robert there at least one person's right of Robert therefore the order is Robert, Taud, Siman. Therefore correct sequence is;
J H L M P R T S.
At least, one person left of larry means is one or more than one therefore after Jack Harry Larry.
3. Mike is in between larry and paul, therefore, Jack, Harry Larry mike paul and this answer also satisfy the condition of Paul occupying one of the middle houses.
4. Considering Robert there at least one person's right of Robert therefore the order is Robert, Taud, Siman. Therefore correct sequence is;
J H L M P R T S.

@All.
Here is my solution.
To solve this problem, we can start by analyzing the given conditions and deducing the positions of the boys in the houses. Then, we can determine which statement is not correct based on the derived positions.
Let's analyze the conditions:
Jack is not the neighbour of Siman.
Harry is just next to the left of Larry.
There is at least one to the left of Larry.
Paul lives in one of the two houses in the middle.
Mike lives in between Paul and Larry.
If at least one lives to the right of Robert and Harry is not between Taud and Larry.
Based on the given conditions, we can deduce the following:
Larry must be at one of the ends since there is at least one to his left (Condition 3) and Mike is between Paul and Larry (Condition 5).
Since Larry is at an end, Harry must be next to Larry's left (Condition 2).
Since Larry is at an end, and Harry is to his left, Larry cannot be the one to the left of Harry (Condition 3).
So, Larry must be at the right end, and Harry must be to his left.
Therefore, Harry must be in the second house from the right end, and Larry must be at the right end.
Since Mike is between Paul and Larry, and Larry is at the right end, Mike must be between Paul and Larry, meaning Paul is to the left of Mike.
Since Paul is in one of the two middle houses, and Mike is to the right of Paul, Paul must be in the middle, and Mike is to his right.
So, the sequence becomes: [empty, empty, Paul, Mike, empty, empty, Larry, Harry]
Now let's examine each statement:
A. Larry lives to the left of Robert. This is correct, as Larry is at the right end and Robert is to the left of Larry.
B. Harry is not between Taud and Larry. This is also correct, as Harry is to the left of Larry.
C. Paul lives to the left of Taud. This is incorrect. Since Paul is in the middle and Mike is to his right, there is no space for Taud to be to Paul's left.
D. Mike lives between Paul and Robert. This is incorrect. Mike is between Paul and Larry, not Paul and Robert.
So, the statement that is not correct is C. Paul lives to the left of Taud.
Here is my solution.
To solve this problem, we can start by analyzing the given conditions and deducing the positions of the boys in the houses. Then, we can determine which statement is not correct based on the derived positions.
Let's analyze the conditions:
Jack is not the neighbour of Siman.

There is at least one to the left of Larry.

Since Larry is at an end, and Harry is to his left, Larry cannot be the one to the left of Harry (Condition 3).
So, Larry must be at the right end, and Harry must be to his left.
Therefore, Harry must be in the second house from the right end, and Larry must be at the right end.
Since Mike is between Paul and Larry, and Larry is at the right end, Mike must be between Paul and Larry, meaning Paul is to the left of Mike.
Since Paul is in one of the two middle houses, and Mike is to the right of Paul, Paul must be in the middle, and Mike is to his right.

B. Harry is not between Taud and Larry. This is also correct, as Harry is to the left of Larry.
C. Paul lives to the left of Taud. This is incorrect. Since Paul is in the middle and Mike is to his right, there is no space for Taud to be to Paul's left.
D. Mike lives between Paul and Robert. This is incorrect. Mike is between Paul and Larry, not Paul and Robert.
So, the statement that is not correct is C. Paul lives to the left of Taud.
