I solved this one this morning after about 30 mins.

This brainteaser, reportedly written by Einstein is difficult and Einstein said that 98% of the people in the world could not figure it out. Which percentage are you in?

There are five houses in a row in different colors. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. The five owners drink a different drink, smoke a different brand of cigar and keep a different pet, one of which is a Walleye Pike.

The question is-- who owns the fish?

Hints:
1. The Brit lives in the 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 green house owner drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Malls keeps birds.
7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhills.
8. The man living in the house right in the center drinks milk.
9. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
10. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the one who smokes Dunhills.
12. The owner who smokes Bluemasters drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Princes.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15. The man who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water.

There are no tricks, pure logic will get you the correct answer. And yes, there is enough information to arrive at the one and only correct answer.

If you get the correct answer, congratulations, you are one of the exclusive group of 121,348,731 people in the world who can.

NO GOOGLING. Let your conscience be your guide.

Got it.

took me 45 friggin' minutes and a table to do it though.

Was anyone able to do this without writing stuff down? That would be impressive.

I think I got it...when I go back and check it all makes sense.

Spent 15 minutes at school with interruptions from students. When I got home it took 5 minutes to fill everything in. I think the brain processes things better with a break.

I just made a table....but I think there's a mathematical way to do things with (I forget what it's called) some sort of a stem/branch diagram....

Took me about 15 minutes too. I like to draw pictures. Smile
