    Einstein estimated that 98% of the world's population would never be able to solve his puzzle, are you the 2%?

    Einstein's List of Facts

    1. There are 5 houses (in a row) painted 5 different colors: Blue, Green, Red, White and Yellow.
    2. In each house there lives a person of a different nationality: Brit, Dane, German, Norwegian or Swede.
    3. These 5 owners each drink a certain beverage: Beer, Coffee, Milk, Tea or Water.
    4. They also smoke a certain brand of cigar: Bluemaster, Dunhill, Pall Mall, Prince or Blend.
    5. Additionally, they also keep a certain type of pet: Cats, Birds, Dogs, Fish or Horses.
    6. The owners DO NOT have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same beverage.

    [hide=1000]
    the german owns the fish

    gonna show my workings in a jpg =P
    [​IMG]
    i think i worked out the colours of all the houses first.. then went from there...
    cause a dane drinking tea and someone smoking bluemaster and drinking beer were limited to the 2nd and 5th houses so the german smoking prince had to be in the 4th house... then everything just filled in..,
    [/hide]

    your answer is correct :D

    is it cheating if i write this down because it is really easy to figure out ... -unsure
     
  20. yeah it is, if u have a paper and pencil and you cant figure it then that aint very good.

    higher Education is more common now, back in Einstein' day a lot of people didn't have the education to answer such a question i guess.
