I wasn't sure where to post this, but I guess it's all about logic and maths (=education). Please write your comments and how hard/easy you thought it was etc., and if you want to figure out this riddle, I suggest doing it before looking at the rest of this thread and reading a spoiler. Also keep any bragging/showing off low-key.

Basicly Albert Einstein wrote this riddle in the early 20th century. He said that 98% of the population would not be able to solve it. Good luck.

I want to know who is in each house, who smokes what cigar, what colour house do they live in, what pet they have, and what beverage do they drink.

In a street these are 5 houses painted 5 different colours. In each house lives a person of a different nationality. The 5 house owners each drink a different beverage, smoke a different brand of cigar and keep a different pet. The question is: Who keeps the fish?

HINTS: (You can figure everything out from these)


The Brit lives in the red house.
The Swede has a dog
The Dane drinks tea
The green house is on the left of the white house
The owner of the green house drinks coffee
The person who smokes Pall Mall has birds.
The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhills.
The man living in the center house drinks milk
The Norwegian lives in the first house
The man who smokes blends lives next to the one who has cats
The man who has horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhills
The man who smokes blue master drinks beer
The German smokes Prince
The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
The man who smokes blends has a neighbour who drinks water.
That’s it. Good luck!:eusa_danc
