Socoder -> Off Topic -> Einstein's Riddle

 		I found a nice riddle, which supposedly, Einstein created. I doubt that. Doesn't matter though, it was still entertaining I needed pen and paper to beat it, and I guess you will too. Don't cheat!

Riddle

There are 5 houses painted in different colors in a row on a street. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. The 5 owners each drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar, nor drink the same beverage.

What nationality is the person who owns the fish?

Hints:
  • 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 person living in the center house drinks milk.
  • The Norwegian lives in the leftmost house.
  • The person who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
  • The person who keeps the horse lives next to the person who smokes Dunhill.
  • The owner who smokes Bluemasters drinks beer.
  • The German smokes Prince.
  • The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
  • The person who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water.

 		Hah, that was really good!

I've solved it, assuming that one of them *has* to have a fish.

The German smokes Prince.


Hey, that's not fair!
I'm a Norwegian, and I smoke Prince!

Edit: Besides, I always thought Germans only smoked 'cheap' brands only available in Germany? At least they don't sell Prince in any of the Lidl stores I've seen in Norway...

 		I did this a while ago. I got it in an email that claimed only a very low percentage of people could actually solve it. I doubt that claim though...it just takes time.
