It don't mean a thing....
Not necessarily k3.
If the houses are on the left of the street as you look down, then they will be numbered thus:
1 3 5 7 9.
But if they are on the right of the street then they will be as follows:
10 8 6 4 2.
This means that for the clue "the Norwegian lives in the first house", then for the first set, the first house will be the furthest left, but for the second then it will be the furthest right. On the other hand, the clue going something like "the green house is further left than the white house"means that for the first set, the green house will have a lower number and the white house a higher number, and for the second the green house a higher number and the white a lower. Since this will effectively reverse the order as far as these clues are concerned, then the order will be different.
Now this may be nitpicking if you assume that the houses are cottages in a single row numbered 1 2 3 4 5, but it does make the question more interesting.
