The riddle of Einstein

LoveHateTragedy · 09-17-2005, 09:41 AM

Hope it wasnt posted yet..didnt find anything!!
So here it is :
Do you belong to the 2 % of the most intelligent persons in the world ? There is no trick with the riddle, only pure logic..much luck and dont give up!

1. There are 5 houses, each with a different color.
2. In every house lives a person with another nationality.
3. Each Owner of a house prefers a certain drink, smokes a certain cigarette mark and holds a certain domestic animal (pet).
4. None of the 5 persons drinks the same drink, smokes the same cigarettes or holds the same animal as one of its neighbours.

Question : To whom does the fish belong ?

The References :
-The Britisher lives in the red house.
-The Swede holds a dog.
-The Dane drinks gladly tee.
-The green house stands left from the white house.
-The owner of the green house drinks coffee.
-The person, who smokes Pall Mall, holds a bird.
-The man, who lives in the middle house, drinks milk.
-The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
-The Norwegian lives in the first house.
-The Marlboro smoker lives beside that, which holds a cat.
-The man, who holds a horse, lives beside that, which smokes Dunhill.
-The Winfield smoker drinks gladly beer.
-The Norwegian lives beside the blue house.
-The German smokes Rothmanns.
-The Marlboro smoker has a neighbour, that drinks water.

Einstein wrote this mystery in the next to last century. It stated, 98% of the population of world were not able to solve it. Do you belong to the other 2%?

If you have a solution plz tell me and say me the time you needed!!

Okay, question: When it says "so and so" lives beside that, it means next to the description beforehand, right?

Just checking.

AmberLynn07 · 09-17-2005, 01:53 PM

Gah dammit!! I had it going but then the red house ended up being my first house with the Norwegian but it says the Britisher lives in the red house so blah. I messed up... now this is going to bug me ALL day!! DANG IT!! And somebody PLEASE say something if you figure it out. I know somebody on here will get it....

After some (okay a lot of) writing I figured out that the fish belongs to the german (mark it if you want to read it, I didn't want to spoil it). That riddle is solvable with common logic through the process of elimination. I think those 2% are the people who can solve it without pen and paper

Marika · 09-17-2005, 02:18 PM

Ah omg I think it's The German.

Ah...that took me like half an hour because I misinterpreted it the first time.

AmberLynn07 · 09-17-2005, 02:24 PM

Yup... it's the german! Took me long enough...
