« on: May 14, 2002, 12:25:09 PM »
here is a puzzle, i got it in a email. see if you can do it




Well difficult but i\'m soooo close to crackin it!!!!

EINSTEIN\'S RIDDLE

This IS solvable with no trickery or misleading clues!

1.  there are 5 houses horizontally in 5 different colours. In each house
lives one person, each with a different nationality.

2.  the 5 owners each drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain
brand of cigar and keep a certain pet.
3.  no owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the
same beverage.

The question is "Who owns the fish"?

Clues:
The Brit lives in the red house
The Swede keeps dogs as pets
The Dane drinks tea
The green house is on the 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 centre 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 the horse lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill
The owner who smokes Bluemasters drinks beer
The German smokes Prince
The Norwegian lives next to the blue house
The man who smokes Blends has a neighbour who drinks water

Einstein wrote this riddle. He said 98% of the world could not solve it.

It can be done! Be part of the 2% that COULD.

The German, who lives in the 4th house from the left.  It is a green house, where he sits and drinks coffee, while smoking Prince cigars.

That really wasn\'t that hard...


This was my full solution:

1:Yellow:Norwegan:Water:Dun Hill:Cats
2:Blue:Dane:Tea:Blends:Horse
3:Red:Brit:Milk:Pall Mall:Birds
4:Green:German:Coffee:Prince:Fish
5:White:Sweed:Beer:Bluemasters:Dogs

It looks like Shockwave beat me to it, but I got the same answer.  Not too hard at all.  Just one big fill-in-the-blank problem.

I got the answer, but others beat me =( darn it.  But this many people in the 2% that Einstein declared?  Besides, where did the number 98% come from in the first place?

That was fun... Have any more?

I can promise you that I didnt copy you... I have it written all over a bunch of pieces of paper... I screwed up once, so I had to start all the way from the beggining cause I didnt know where I screwed up.. that kind of sucked.
