ARE YOU IN THE TOP 2% OF INTELLIGENT PEOPLE IN THE WORLD?
SOLVE THE RIDDLE AND FIND OUT.
There are no tricks, just pure logic, so good luck and don't give up.
1. In a street there are five houses, painted five different colours.
2. In each house lives a person of different nationality
3. These five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, smoke different brand of cigar and keep a different pet.
THE QUESTION: WHO OWNS THE FISH?
HINTS
1. The Brit lives in a red house.
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Dane drinks tea.
4. The Green house is next to, and on the left of the White house.
5. The owner of the Green house drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
7. The owner of the Yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8. The man living in the centre house drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
12. The man who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15. The man who smokes Blends has a neighbour who drinks water.
ALBERT EINSTEIN WROTE THIS RIDDLE EARLY DURING THE 19th CENTURY. HE SAID THAT 98% OF THE WORLD POPULATION WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SOLVE IT.
I'm still trying to solve it....

1st house - Yellow, Norwegian, Dunhill, Water, Cats
2nd house - Blue, Dane, Blends, Tea, Horses
3rd house - Red, Brit, Pall Mall, Milk, Birds
4th house - Green, German, Prince, Coffee, Fish
5th house - White, Swede, Blue Master, Beer, Dogs
So the answer is the German owns the fish.

It's easier than that,
The cat ate the fish, end of story, that puts me in the top 0.0001%, especially as I didn't even try to solve the riddle
Ho hum!
katyzzz, what was this post about again?

I guess the implication is in the question...therefore...I'm with Nina.
She always knows what she's talking about.
Does this make me smart by association?
Or just plain lazy?

I'm with you on this one... I thought the cat had eaten the fish at first too ... some of us are better at other kinds of figures...

If you had left your tag I would have had a life and said Yeh, you're not wrong... but because you didn't I have to take this as serious business...The irony of your comment was that I had left this post to cover for me whilst I was out leading my life and it is you who were here commenting on it...
Thanks for leaving your comment...

Thank you for finding that... I was going on the search myself today... I don't think I could have found a better answer to answer the riddle. Thanks...
