Einstein's Riddle

  
 I've developed a strong admiration for Albert Einstein lately
 (even bought a t-shirt with a quote from the man).
He seemed to view the world so lightly and yet so complex.
He saw it in all it's layers. In documentaries he is presented
as an ironic guy. Laughing at himself and saying
 things I truly agree with.


A while ago my brother presented Einstein's Riddle to me.
 I got obsessed with it. Needed to solve it, kinda to prove 
someting to myself. And to challange my own intelligence. 
Since, mr Einstein is known for that  specific talent. 
To my suprise I solved it after about three hours. Stunned!
Cause I'm really crappy with these sort of things.
 (I even EVEN got proof that I solved it totally on my own, 
without peeking! And I have saved the scraps IN CASE 
some one would question me haha) Alex solved it even 
faster then me (buhuu) But I'm really not suprised at all. 
I'd like to post Einstein's Riddle here and see if anyone 
else would like to give it a try. I'd also like to see your 
results, if anyone dare mail them to me! Would be fun. 





Einstein's Riddle!
There are 5 houses in 5 different colors. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. The 5 owners 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, or drink the same beverage.The question is: 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 homeowner drinks coffee.
  • The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
  • The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
  • The man living in the center house drinks milk.
  • The Norwegian lives in the first house.
  • The man who smokes Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats.
  • The man who keeps the horse lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
  • The owner who smokes Bluemaster drinks beer.
  • The German smokes prince.
  • The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
  • The man who smokes Blend has a neighbor who drinks water.

Einstein wrote this riddle early during the 19th century. He said 98% of the world could not solve it. Its not hard, you just need to pay attention and be patient.
