Who Owns the Fish??


Albert Einstein made a brain teaser called "Who Owns the Fish". It's supposed to be really hard but I found it extremely easy. One of my teachers claim that only 2% of the population (I guess of America) can figure this out within 10 minutes. I figured it out in my first 5 minutes.

Now I would like to see how many of you can figure it out. I know it is supposed to be hard and only 3 other people in my class discovered it (two worked in a group together) but .. I'd like to think you guys are a little smart. Afterall you're gamers and gamers own, damnit!

Except you Tek.. you and your apelike brain will never figure this out.

The following is the test most of you will fail... and if you do it's okay. At least try.



There are five houses in a row and in five different colors. In each house lives a person from a different country. Each person drinks a certain drink, smokes a certain cigarette, and keeps a certain pet. No two people drink the same drink, smoke the same cigarette, or keep the same pet.

The Brit lives in a red house.

The Swede keeps dogs.

The Dane drinks tea.

The green house is on the left of the white house.

The green house owner drinks coffee.

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 Norwegian lives in the first house.

The man who smokes Blend lives next to the man who keeps cats.

The man who keeps horses lives next to the one who smokes Dunhill.

The man who smokes Bluemaster drinks beer.

The German smokes Prince.

The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.

The man who smokes Blend as a neighbor who drinks water.

WHO OWNS THE FISH?

You can always send me a PM ifyou are afraid of blerting out the wrong answer.

I'm too tired to figure out. I'll have a go at it in the mornings. I'm not on the West Coast.

I'm not a vampire. I go to this 'school' place, and on Saturdays I go to rowing practice. I have to get up at 6 AM, I'm dead tired at this hour.
