N
N does not lives on lower most floor.
Only three people live between N and the one who likes Hulk.
N?Hulk
O lives on an even numbered floor and it lives immediately above K.
possibility for O (2,4,6,8)
K lives neither on floor number 3 nor 5.
It means O which is immediately above k does not live on floor number 4 and 6.
So, new possibility for O is (2,8).
Only two people live between K and the one who likes Nova.
K?Nova
Only one person live between the one who likes Nova and Ironman and the Ironman is below the one who likes Nova.
?Nova?Ironman
