Einstein's Riddle



Einstein wrote this riddle early during the 19th century. He said 98% of the world could not solve it. Its not hard, you just need to pay attention and be patient.

There are 5 houses in 5 different colors. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. The 5 owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar, or drink the same beverage.

The question is: Who owns the fish?

Hints:

The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
The Dane drinks tea.
The green house is on the left of the white house.
The green homeowner drinks coffee.
The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
The man living in the center house drinks milk.
The Norwegian lives in the first house.
The man who smokes Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats.
The man who keeps the horse lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
The owner who smokes Bluemaster drinks beer.
The German smokes prince.
The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.

I pm'ed you my version of the Einstein riddle.
I hope it was correct. nervous
I find it hard to believe that 98% could not solve the problem, some may take 5 minutes, some 5 hours or 5 days.

yulenka 24. September 2009, 16:24

Yes,it is correct,i will give you a present being Back home:)

yulenka 24. September 2009, 19:56

I do not believein 98% as well,but it was his opinion and about people ot that time.

Here is a present for you
Frog or Horse?

I founded horse not at once,always saw a frog...lol

p.mansoor 24. September 2009, 20:17

It's a problem that I always have had with these kind of pictures. I got the horse in less than 5 seconds. :lol:
I guess that my brain is hardwired to see certain things faster than most of the people I know but sometimes it can become very frightening.
Like seeing things in the dark that is not even there.:insane:

Thanks for the present, I will try to find something for you in return.

yulenka 24. September 2009, 20:23
