NO CHEATING

Albert Einstein once posed a brain teaser that he predicted only 2% of the worlds population would be able to solve.

FACTS:

1. There are 5 houses in 5 different colours.

2. In each house lives a person with a different nationality.

3. These 5 owners drink a certain beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigarette and keep a certain pet.

4. No owners have the same pet, brand of cigaratte, or drink.

CLUES:

1. The Brit lives in a red house

2. The Swede keeps a dog

3. The Dane drinks tea

4. The green house is on the left of the white house.

5. The green house owner drinks coffee.

6. The person who smokes Pall Mall keeps birds.

7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.

8. The man living in the house right in the center drinks milk

9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.

10. The man who smokes Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats

11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill

12. The owner who smokes Camel drinks beer

13. The German smokes Marlborough.

14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house

15. The man who smokes Blend has a neighbour who drinks water.

The question is, who keeps the fish?

[IDbasser]

The German in the green house who drinks coffee and smokes marlborough has the fish!!

I did answer this way back in the day (16 years ago) correctly when my mind was relatively new.

the fisherman.

There is a ROW of 5 different color houses.

If you are going to ask a logic question you have to be specific with all the facts.

I cut and pasted this DIRECTLY from the Albert Einstein web site. So, if you don't like the way he presented his own brain teaser then take it up with him. And it doesn't matter if they are in a row. Anyway, I'm sure you know the answer since you're so intelligent.  Have a nice day

I got the same answer as IDbasser without cheating. Had to draw the houses though and make some lists but hey, I'm gettin' old.  

[IDbasser]

I laid it all out too.  wrote down everything on paper and moved them around till they fit.

[Bassn Blvd]

Eddie Munster and IDBasser got it right.  I suppose A.E  was wrong when he claimed only 2% of the world population could solve it.

[IDbasser]

Did you notice what of night it was when I solved it?

[Bassn Blvd]

2 hours 17 minutes after I posted it.  Are you sure you didn't look it up and take just a little peak?

[IDbasser]

At that time of the morning my brain works overtime.

[Eddie Munster]

I pulled it back up at work and did it while there wasn't anything going on. Think of it like a sudoku only with words instead of numbers.

I agree with Bassn Blvd; if I got it right, it can't be that difficult.

[CWB]

I practice catch and release so I can't answer.

P.S. If I have to think about it for more than 2 minutes, forget it.

sizzle...........pop!!!

(The sound of my brain upon review of this riddle)

It took me about 15 mins to solve this and most of it was spent writing down the colors, nationalities, drinks etc. and then taping them together to fit the clues.  After that it was easy to lay the puzzle pieces out so they fit the clues.  Maybe only 2% of the worlds population had access to paper, pen, scizzors and scotch tape when Einstein came up with this.

Maybe only 2% of the population could imagine why someone would be keeping fish, cats, dogs and horses as pets instead of eating them.

Hey man, if they can make Mr. Ed, Lassie or Garfield taste like General Tso's Chicken, I'm all for it.

Actually, some of the places I've eaten at in the military may have been serving just that.
