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.

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.

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.
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 - 2 months ago
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. - 2 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
I got the exact same thing. I agree completely on the German having the fish, but will all the other answers always be in the same place? - 2 months ago

What is your favorite outfit for a night out with friends?
A night out with my friends would probably be what I like to call the 3 S's. Simple, Sweet, and Sexy all at the same time. I have the perfect outfit. A green undershirt tank top that comes pretty low on my chest and a dark purple over shirt would be with my dark blue GAP jeans (they're kinda tight, and make my butt look hot, or so I've been told). My green bracelet would be included as well.
How do you style your hair and do your make-up?
My hair is usually straightened, it comes to right at my shoulders and is parted over to the side slightly, side swept bands included. Its just so hard to control when its NOT straightened. My make up is usually just some light foundation and (depending on the outfit) maybe some light eye shadow. Mascara is a must have for me. Every once in a while eye liner is included.
