Below is a quiz written by Einstein. He said that 98% of the people in the world cannot solve the quiz. Are you among the other 2%?
Here you go...

Facts:
1: There are 5 houses in 5 different colors
2: In each house lives a person with a different nationality.
3: These 5 owners drink a certain beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar and keep a certain pet.
4: No owner has the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same drink.

HINTS:
1: The British lives in a red house.
2: The Swede keeps dogs as pets
3: The Dane drinks tea
4: The green house is on the left of the white house (it also means they are next door to each other)
5: The green house owner drinks coffee
6: The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds
7: The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill
8: The man living in the house right in the center drinks milk
9: The Norwegian lives in the first house (the left-most house)
10: The man who smokes Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats
11: The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill
12: The owner 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 Blend has a neighbor who drinks water.

The question is: WHO KEEPS FISH?

PM me the answer and I'll let you know if its right or wrong.

Don't spoil it }B>

But looking up the answer isn't exactly knowing how to solve the problem.

Having to look up the solution only shows that you didn't know how to go about it in the first place. LOL It's elementary my dear Watson.

It's an easy problem, so long as you know the manner inwhich to go about solving it. (read any good mistery novels lately?

)

Although thumbing up google is detective work, but thats more research.

Damn those were alot o hints.

It's research... you're looking for information people before you have already discovered.
It's also called 'not reinventing the *bleep* wheel every 10 years'

// yeah, I used google. Sue me

It's just a logic problem. I'm just to lazy.

@KiLler .... I didn't have to look it up since I already had to make this "puzzle" at school years ago. and at that time we didn't even have google.. <g>

And Fyi I read I the jury again
