ARE YOU IN THE TOP 2% OF INTELLIGENT PEOPLE IN THE
WORLD?
SOLVE THE RIDDLE AND FIND OUT.
There are no tricks, just pure logic, so good luck and
don't give
up.
1. In a street there are five houses, painted five
different
colours.
2. In each house lives a person of different
nationality
3. These five homeowners each drink a different kind
of beverage,
smoke
a
different brand of cigar and keep a different pet.

THE QUESTION: WHO OWNS THE FISH?


HINTS
1. The Brit lives in a red house.
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
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 rears birds.
7. The owner of the Yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8. The man living in the center house drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one
who keeps cats.
11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who
smokes
Dunhill.
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 neighbor who
drinks water.

ALBERT EINSTEIN WROTE THIS RIDDLE EARLY DURING THE
19th
CENTURY. HE SAID THAT 98% OF THE WORLD POPULATION
WOULD
NOT BE ABLE TO SOLVE IT.


just post your answers... i will also post mine if i have an answer. ^_^

taking a wild gues........ the person who lives in the green house??

1st house: yellow, norwey, smoke dunhill, own a fish.. am i right or not?

this is confusing!!! you people are fast, maybe the German? not sure though, did this out as fast as I could. and are you sure there's only one answer to this?

The Fish is owned by the German in the Green house who smokes Princes, and drinks Coffee.

(Left to right)
House 1
Yellow
Dunhill
Norwegian
Cats
Water

House 2

Dane
Horses
Tea

House 3
Red Pall Malls
British
Birds
Milk

House 4
Green
Prince
German
Fish
Coffee

House 5

Not the Swede! It's the Brit since it seems like a pet that Brits would have...

im gonna say the Norwegian

>< i messed up.. my answer is wrong..

my answer is...... none of them!!!! :D XD ha ha

Yea, I got the German, green house, coffee, prince, fish. Took me a while...

If you think you are that 2% you are a hypocrite because keep it in mind "there's always someone better than you" and this make you not insignificant this is the meaning of life to be bettar than yesterday

wouh, took me a little while but i got it :

House 1
Yellow
Norwegian
Water
Dunhill
Cats

House 2
Blue
Dane
Tea
Blends
Horses

House 3
Red
Brit
Milk
Pall Mall
Birds

House 4
Green
German
Coffee
Prince
Fish

House 5
White
Swede
Beer
Blue Master
Dogs

wasn't too hard once i started writing things down, only took me about ten minutes or so. process of elimination really. basically, the German who lives in the Green (fourth) house, drinks coffee and smokes Prince owns the fish. thanks for posting this, ideal, and congrats to pertheusual and Ayamael for being able to solve the problem.

2%? That's got to be a wrong percentage, because 3 or 4 people here have already figured it out :\.
Green house >> German >> Coffee >> Prince >> Fish.

What does Einstein think the world is made up of? Idiots?
lol... that's a rhetorical question btw.

It's obviously the German.

i got the german who drinks coffee, smokes prince and lives in the green house

Yellow Blue Red Green White
Norwegian Dane Brit German Swede
Water Tea Milk Coffee Beer
Dunhill Blends Pall Mall Prince Blue Master
Cats Horse Birds Fish Dogs

Ans: German who drinks coffee, smokes Prince and lives in the green hse

It's the German:
From the first to the last the order of the houses is:
-Yellow House: Water, Dunhill, Cats and the owner is Norwegian
-Blue House: Tea, Blends, Horses, and the owner is Dane
-Red House: Milk, Pall Mall, Birds, and the owner is Brit
-Green House: Coffee, Prince, Fish and the owner is German
-White House: Beer, Blue Master, dogs and the owner is Sweeden
I think the problem of this test is that BY THE TIME OF EINSTEIN only 2% of the world population might had been able to solve the riddle, but with all the improvements of the education and the rise of the cutting-edge communications and all the other stuff, we're now, not more intelligent, but better prepared and with a more developed analysis capability

how did you guys get that? there wasnt enough information; i kept running into things where "this guy could smoke prince, but then again these other 2 guys could also smoke prince"

Very carefully

The German has the fish.

No 4
green
prince
coffee
fish

true true... when einstein said those words he did so in the 19th century... and it's like the 21th century now... lots of advancements have been made... even the way people think has changed...

the 2% of people referred to the 2% then... not now...
