ALBERT EINSTEIN'S RIDDLE

ARE YOU IN THE TOP 2% OF INTELLIGENT PEOPLE IN THE WORLD?
SOLVE THE RIDDLE AND FIND OUT

There are no tricks, just pure logic, so good luck and don't give up.

1. In a street there are five houses, painted five different
colours.
2. In each house lives a person of different nationality.
3. These five owners each drink a different kind of beverage,
smoke a
different brand of cigar and keep a different pet.

QUESTION: WHO OWNS THE FISH?

HINTS

1. The Brit lives in a red house.
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Dane drinks tea.
4. The green house is on the left of the white house.
5. The owner of the green house drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8. The man living in the centre house drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes
Dunhill.
12. The man who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house
15. The man who smokes Blends has a neighbour who drinks water.

ALBERT EINSTEIN WROTE THIS RIDDLE EARLY LAST CENTURY.
HE SAID THAT 98% OF THE WORLD POPULATION WOULD NOT BE
ABLE TO SOLVE IT.

Top 2%

Took me an hour and a half. Got the same table that tonka posted. and only used 4 bits of paper. Just did trial and error until all the hints worked although there are a lot of possibilities that can be easily discounted straight away.

Its almost a bit like that game "mine" - the one you run around the mine field and it tells you how many mines you are near and you work out which ones are mines without touching them except more complicated.

-----------I think I should see sombody about this cause I may have a problem getting off on this shiat.

Im going to go and have another beer now #Beer
