If you concentrate it should take about 10 - 15 minutes to solve.........

Einstein's Riddle!

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 Brit lives in the red house.
* 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.
* The man who smokes Blend has a neighbor who drinks water.

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

I suppose you all got the answer to this test? It really isn't that difficult if you have a pen and paper. Those who messaged me and said the "German" owns the fish, are of course correct.

Well done.

Regards

JD

A box is placed on the ground with a hole in each side.
All 4 sides face south.
All 4 side of the box are the same size.
The sun is shining and the sky is clear.

A bear walks past the box.

What colour is the bear?

Mr jones and his wife and Mr smith and his daughter are walking in the counryside.
They find a hens nest with four eggs in it.
They each decide to take one.
When they leave, there is still one egg left.
Why?.

Well I can't deduce the logic of either of those answers, but then again, what's new. :-s

But is the answer that the wife and the daughter are the same person? :-k
