  • albert einstein riddle

    For the bored ones under us, a nice puzzle. The objective is, like with all logic puzzles, you solve it thrue pure logic, so the idea is not to "lets put this one in here and see if it works" strategy.
    Took me quite some time, about 45 mins to an hour, of course while being payed

    Enjoy:
    ---------------------

    Albert Einstein wrote this riddle in the early 20th century. he said
    that 98% of the population would not be able to solve it. Are you in the top 2% of intelligent people? solve the riddle and find out. there are no tricks, just logic:

    in a street there are 5 houses painted 5 different colours. in each house lives a person of a different nationality. the 5 homeowners each drinks a different beverage, smokes a different brand of cigarettes and keeps a different pet.

    the question: who owns the fish?

    hints:
    1. the brit lives in a red house
    2. the swede has a dog
    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 has birds
    7. the owner of the yellow house smokes dunhill's
    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 has cats
    11. the man who has horses lives next to the man who smokes dunhill's
    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

    -------

    For the ones who wanna solve it and not know the answer ill add some space under this so ya won't see the answer of others....

    we did that at school in a course about stuff like that. Wasn't that hard if you know (and understand) the system. 2 (or was it 3 =/) guys in a class of 23 couldn't solve it.

        nationality
        drink
        house
        pet

            my dad asked me this riddled and I money'ed it, but I forgot the answer so blah.
            Like, there was this ninja who got
            ticked off at some people who kept
            talking while he was trying to rock
            out on his guitar, so the ninja totally
            flipped out and sang at them till
            they all exploded!!! (true story.)

                    MATRIX, USE THE MATRIX.. or a matrix. It'll take about 2 mins.

                      But they don't teach matrix in high school unless you're in that special math class which hardly anyone takes cuz the smart ones would rather take calc or some sort and the stupid ones would take an easier course. Don't know about university though. Took me 9 minutes, epi >=/

                        it's not that i couldnt figure it out...it's the fact that this will have no future bearing on my life and the effort to figure it out could be better spent elsewhere
