| ¿42? | Einstein's Riddle 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 homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, smoke different brand of cigar and keep a different pet. Given: 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. The question: Who owns the fish? There are no tricks, just pure logic. If needed I can also provide the diagram I assembled to help me solve it. Albert Einstein wrote this riddle early during the 19th century. He said that 98% of the world population would not be able to solve it. Can you? ---------------- Clay Editor and Forum Administrator stego anyone? Add yourself to Hypography's Frappr.

| Explaining | Re: Einstein's Riddle sheesh this is hard, just when I think I got it, I find a flaw in the logic, the only thing I'm sure of so far is the order of the houses. ---------------- /home/God $ cd projects/universe /home/God/projects/universe $ make /home/physicist $ cat /home/God/projects/universe/main.c ksh: /home/God/projects/universe/main.c: Permission Denied. | |

| Thinking | I know this may upset you that had to take a long time on this, but it only took me about 20 min to do this, while I was in math class. All you need is to make a chart and think logically. It was a lot of fun, though! Thanks for the brainteaser! Yellow Norwegian Water Dunhill Cats, Blue Dane Tea Blends Horses, Red Brit Milk Pall Mall Birds, Green German Coffee Prince Fish White Swede Beer Blue Masters Dogs The answer is the German owns the fish. | |
