In absence of math, I hope you enjoy the following*
According to tradition, Albert Einstein came up with this riddle when he was a child. While it may not pass as a riddle in the real sense, it still manages to measure one’s focus and intellect.
Riddle: There are 5 houses that have 5 occupants. Each occupant’s house is differently colored. The houses also have different choice of beverages, different cigarette brands, and a unique pet. Your goal is to figure out which occupant owns the fish.
Here is more information:
- An Englishman resides in a red house
- The Dane drinks tea
- Dogs are kept by the Swede
- The green house is left to the white house
- The occupant of the green house drinks coffee
- The birds are kept by the Pall Mall smoker
- The Dunhill smoker lives in the yellow house
- The milk is drunk by the man living in the center house
- The first houses’ occupant is Norwegian
- The blend smoker’s neighbor keeps cats
- The horse keeper and the Dunhill smoker live next to each other
- The German smokes Prince
- The Norwegian lives right next to the blue house
- The blend smoker’s neighbor drinks water.

The German owns fish! I have a pretty chart that I color-coded and everything. *feels silly* Still, I figured it out. It was like Sudoku!
Wow! I am very impressed! It took me a good 1.5 hours to figure it out, and 3 sheets of notebook paper. :P
I was right? Yay! :D
