Einsteins Enigma

Post by Guest » 18.05.2008, 12:19

This is one of the worlds hardest brain teasers. Please don't go and google the answer, that is no fair.

Five men live in five houses of five different color.
They smoke five different brands of cigar,drink five different beverages,and keep five different pets.

We know that:
* The Norwegian lives in the first house.
* The brit lives in the red house.
* The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
* The Dane drinks tea.
* The green house is just on the left of the white house.
* The green house owner drinks coffee.
* The man who smokes Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats.
* The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
* The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
* The man living in the house right in the center drinks milk.
* The German smokes Prince.
* The man who smokes Blend has a neighbor who drinks water.
* The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
* The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
* The owner who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.

The question is ... Who keeps a fish?
For Einstein 98% of the people in the world cannot solve this problem.


I will post when some one gets the answer. I will be able to tell if you cheat, I think :wink:.

Not everyone in Canada likes lobster. I live on the east coast and I absolutley hate it. Also, a 5 pound lobster is nothing. I have heard of ones that were more then 10 pounds.
