Here is a fun puzzle for those of you who like problems and logic. Have a crack at it and see what you end up with. You should give yourself no more than 30 minutes to solve it. Do not ask for help from others =)
Once done, go ahead and vote in your answers. If you were NOT able to solve it within 30 minutes, please do NOT guess, just vote just vote E. And if you have solved or have heard the answer to this problem before, please vote E. Good luck and have fun!

According to Albert Einstein, he said that 98% of the population would not be able to solve this logic problem. So if you can solve it, well hats off to you; you're the 2% he was talking about.

Here is the problem:

Five neighboring houses are painted in different colors. In each house, the owners have a different nationality, drink different beverages, smoke different brand of cigars, and have different pets.

The question is, which house owns a FISH?

(Let me give you the first hint, the answer is NOT Swede because hint #2 clearly states that this person has a dog. See, I helped, now please continue =)

Use the following hints to solve the problem:

1. The Brit lives in the red house.
2. The Swede has a dog.
3. The Dane drinks tea.
4. The green house is on the left of the white house.
5. The owner of the green house drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes pall mall has birds.
7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhills.
8. The man living in the center house drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The man who smokes blends lives next to the one who has cats.
11. The man who has horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhills.
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 neighbor who drinks water.

Update: And please blurb out the answer or what you think is the answer. But you are more than welcome to discuss what you think about this problem and the difficulties you had.    9 months ago

Haha, that was loads of fun. I had so many tables drawn to solve it. Great way to avoid studying for finals. Haha. Got the same answers as the rest of the posters by the way, with the German having the fish.

Question Asker Lol I did the exact same thing on finals day. For some reason, I thought this little riddle was my final. Anyway, the majority of the people must be genius here! =) most of us got it correct. I wonder if they really did it under 30 mins - 9 months ago
Suave-Man I didn't get it in under 30 minutes maybe 50 at most, hey, there were many potholes that I had to fill in, and I did it all for einstein. Funny thing is, if you had said solve this puzzle I wouldn't have done it, the only reason why I did it is because Einstein said only 2% could, so the odds were against me. I'm guessing that Einstein's generation wasn't as naturally intelligent as our own though. - 8 months ago

I love this! It's got to be the German, it's the only way that makes sense! I've solved it with three different methods and got the same answer! This was a lot of fun! What I've come up with: Norwegian-yellow-Dunhills-cats-water
Dane-Blue-horses-Blends-tea
Brit-red-milk-Pall Mall-birds
German-green-coffee-Prince-Fish
Swede-white-dog-Blue Master-beer
I'll be very shocked if this isn't the answer lol
