...are you in the top 2%?
Einstein wrote this riddle earlier this century and he said that 98% of the population could not solve it. read on... i have my doubts as to the 98% figure, but i know some of you like stuff like this and i thought i'd post it.... i was able to complete it but i will let you guys post the answers.... (Koty'sdad will probably have this knocked out in no time....)
1) there are 5 houses in five different colours
2) in each house lives a person with a different nationality
3) these 5 owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet
4) no owner has the same pet, smoke the same cigar or drink the same beverage
...the question is...
WHO OWNS THE FISH?
hints:
*the Brit lives in the red house
*the Sweed keeps dogs as pets
*the Dane drinks tea
*the green is left of the white house
*the green house's owner 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 Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats
*the man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes
Dunhill
*the owner who smokes Blue Master drinks beer
*the German smokes Prince
*the Norwegian lives next to the blue house
*the man who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water
(p.s. if you don't want to know the answer before you try it for yourself, don't scroll down as you would certainly find it..
